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!

This really is a distillation of what zero materialism does. There's been about four more calls now and they're all a version of:

This country is just racist, there's nothing we can do.
People are stupid and illiterate and it's their fault.
This must be a fix and this is unprecedented (followed by being annoyed when hosts point out 2000/2004, and that this one is almost certainly legit)
Why are people so attracted to this fascist strongman image of Trump? (that we created, and it's definitely nothing else)

The lib host is now crying enough that she cannot close the show or keep taking calls.

Blueanon is real, and it's going to get worse and more annoying.
