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!

Wait how can they already know Trump won? Didn't it take weeks to count the votes last time?

Trump is winning by large margins.

Where do you go for the results? Google is only throwing up CNN and MSNBC and all those and they honestly suck ass

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I’m just using NYT. I’m sure there’s much better stuff out there but the interactive map can give you pretty detailed breakdowns. You can compare the margins to past elections.

It looks like she might end up losing the popular vote too

IPSOS polling was pretty accurate, saying that the voting share was tied but Trump led on almost all key issues.

Huh, I feel like a liberal rn (I keep opening my mouth to say dumb shit about things I have not investigated properly)

A lot of the polls were really bad like that Selzer poll of Iowa, so you're correct on that. But the usually reliable ones like IPSOS got the general idea right. A tie on overall voter share, but with Trump ahead on key issues, suggesting a "hidden Trump vote".

suggesting a "hidden Trump vote"

Considering how much they underestimated him in 2016, I'd be surprised if they aren't trying to account for this factor by now. Clearly the math was still wrong lmao
