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!

Over/under on post count?

I'm predicting we crack four digits on this thread. The election is the season finale of US politics and most of what people have been talking about on here recently

4 digits feels safe, but with the megas tucked away, that might quiet the numbers.

I'm going with 1450

Fingers crossed this doesn't turn out to be the start of act 3. Or, maybe that it does? Act three would imply lots of drama and that might keep the empire distracted? idk.

I'm doing my best here but my morale is flagging.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago

I feel like utter shit

I was gonna say "not all that high", assuming everyone is just fucking burned out at this point too, but we're already at 512

3000-4000 if Trump wins, ~2000 if Harris wins

in 2016 it would have been like 10,000 comments but everybody here seems to only be paying half-attention nowadays and even that's only for the schadenfreude of watching one side lost their shit. or at least, that's my mental position currently
