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!

any democrat running nationally in this environment was just fucked no matter what

Nah, if a Democrat ran on being significantly different from Biden and going after the greedy companies causing inflation (with that wording explicitly) they would have had a chance.

Of course there are next to no Democrats that would use that kind of rhetoric. Maybe Bernie but really he'd probably be too civility minded chickenshit to talk bad about his good friend Biden.

Yeah people really don't like Trump. People just won't vote for you if you downplay their suffering, which is exactly what the Dems have been doing the whole time.

But the economy is great! The good line is going up and the bad line isn't going up as fast as it was!

I mean, yes they could have done that, but the fact is that the guy presiding over this situation has a D next to his name and that's incredibly difficult for anyone else with a D next to their name to deal with, no matter what they would say. Especially his VP.
