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!

Europe doesn't have the ability to go it's own way. Without energy sovereignty, which was denied to them with the ukraine war and the Nordstrom bombings, and with neoliberal austerity they won't be able prevent deindustrialization. The world is still addicted to dollar denominated debt so I don't see a way out for anyone else either. Also, China unfortunately just sits there keeping to themselves so they won't be build a robust alternative to the US for a good while. Those are all short term outlooks though. I'd like to be proven wrong though.
