Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.

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!

Would like to believe that a Democrat loss would force the Biden staffer regime into political obscurity, scattering their power around a bunch of make work moderately paid NGO jobs and editorial columns, but they'll probably fail upward and be back to run another right wing campaign in 4 years.

There's no lesson you can teach the DNC, they aren't unaware of how their policies hurt and kill innocent people, there's no amount of photos of dead 2 year olds you can show them to get them to change course on Gaza. They're totally hollow subjects who got where they are by placating powerful people while cutting out or numbing any part of them that was redeemable or human.

Maybe foreign policy's impact on the actual vote are minimal, but in terms of these people's reason for existing, the justification for their actions that "Trump will do worse" (maybe true!), is kind of meaningless now that you're actively engaging in a holocaust, all that's left is a reptilian prey drive. That fucking smirk on Matthew Miller's face.
