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!

I voted Cornel West for president earlier today (PSL was not on the ballot here). I've now voted for left-wing minor party/independent presidential candidates in all six of the presidential elections that I've voted in. Never had any regrets about any of those votes either.

By the way, this could be the first presidential election since 2008 where left-wing minor party and independent presidential candidates get more combined votes than the Libertarians. Will be interesting to see...

Could be worse. You could've voted Dem into your mid-20s like I did agony-shivering
