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 wonder what hurt Kamala worse....

Bombing the Middle East and perpetrating Palestinian genocide that alienated the muslim vote

Running to the right of republicans on immigration

Can't imagine why she lost thonk

Literally not offering anything of actual consequence to anyone who isn't rich and refusing to distance herself from Joe Biden.

I think it was also being deeply uninspiring

Do you think promising no good things that would improve people's lives helped or hurt her campaign?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh no all of the above sunk her campaign, I'm just being an ass.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh same I was joking/sarcastic.

Because she didn't, did she? She didn't make any positive claims, just said over an dover how good she'd be at hurting people. : p

Practically. That and fear mongering. Such a useless candidate and such a useless campaign.

There's also offering fuckall to address the cost of living crisis

The constant shaming of voters didn't help much either. "I'm speaking", and responding to literally everything with, "Well, do you want TRUMP?!" and telling (via her Obama proxy) Black men they are misogynists...seriously worse stage conduct than even fucking Hillary Clinton and her campaign.
