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

from @CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net:

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!

There's a particular kind of blame I dread - the kind coming from the average everyday Democrat whose political analysis absolutely refuses to go beyond "Third-party voters hate us for our freedoms." It's impossible to talk to those people and they've refused to listen or change or demand that the party change for 24 years now.

    There’s also “third party voters (of the left variety) are immature babies who don’t understand how things work in the real world. They are why we have Trump. Well, let’s see how that works out for them.”

    Insert meme of Democrats want me dead.

    The people saying that only have to think about what they're saying for half a second before they realize they still have to appeal to us to win elections.

    What will happen is they'll ask why the democrats should cater to us if we wont vote for them anyway.

    Then keep losing and figure out another strategy to lose even harder. shrug-outta-hecks same difference to us, we get to sharpen the contradictions.

    Dems: "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH ACCELERATIONISTS!"

    Tankies: We literally just asked you to stop killing people for, like, a month. And you wouldn't do that.

    They could have just lied about it for like two weeks! That's all it would have taken! Bibi would shut up and deal with it just to get his bombs, they didn't even have to actually stop! They couldn't even fucking lie to cinch the election to get what they wanted.
