put all of your election posting here so it doesn't bother anyone else!

from @[email protected]:

For Agitprop purposes, I’m asking comrades to help aggregate any and all effortpost responses, critiques, or general thoughts that you have seen or written pertaining to yesterday’s U.S. election that you think have standalone value for discussion either online or IRL.

I made a post for that purpose here, and ideally it can be used not only for general discussion, but as a reference for well thought out responses in discussions about the election to save all of us some brainpower.

No shitposts please, as we’d like to highlight some comrades’ actual effort in constructing responses or analysis, but humor is 100% welcome to help make your point!

Normally not much a chatter but need to vent. I don't even live in a swing state. I'm in as firm a blue state as you can get. Yet my family still feels the need to get mad at me for voting Claudia. As if there's some invisible number you have it hit and then the liberal fairy will give you good boi points.

At least voting PSL eases my conscience a little. If I voted Harris and she still loses I would not only contribute nothing to that result. But then I'd feel shit for voting for the genocide enabler.

I’m in an extremely red state and my lib friends are so emotional about me voting PSL. Elections drive people to madness

That’s the funniest part. I never hear these stories from people in actual swing states. It’s always people in some deep blue or red state doing this.

Yeh this ties directly in to Democrats viewing politics as religion.
