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!

Anyone else feeling kinda hollow? I mean, either we get a genocidaire or we ger cheeto-man .

the hollowness you feel is the hollowness of the u.s. empire as it consumes itself in a desperate but ultimately futile attempt to maintain its global hegemonic position. treasure this feeling, for it is the hope of humanity.

Most of the time I'm just normal enough. I'm not exactly hollow but I am so fucking detached from things in an unhealthy way. Maybe seeing all of the manmade horrors in Gaza made me too callused over to feel anything for the meaningless dog and pony show of American elections. I can obviously feel rage at Israel but for the ghouls of this empire dancing around saying they're fascists I don't feel much. Their evil is just so banal until it hits just right in the way that makes me want to rage.
