YOU are speaking!
Have you made any poignant commentary on the recent election in the U.S.? Do you have a good response to liberals who are upset with the results or process of the election? Have you written or seen something as a comment reply/post that you think has standalone value? Did you see a new take or analysis you hadn’t previously considered?
Whether it’s a long idea with lots of context, or a short and sweet one liner, we want those thoughts aggregated here. This post is intended to be a resource for comrades to draw from when having actual discussions outside of Hexbear both online or IRL regarding the election.
Consider this a mini-effortpost aggregator. This is not for shitposts, but humor is completely acceptable if it helps make the point.
I'm Canadian and Trump hysteria is only gonna hurt the conservatives and helo the ndp, the lib party is dead in the water as far as public opinion goes. This is gonna make things easier for the NDP cause we can literally point to America and say 'look where it got them, we have a viable third party'
Did the NDP make big gains under the last Trump presidency? I thought it was still Trudeau the whole time.
Not so much, but also it was covid and the government was matching our paychecks to not work for the last year. Hard to lose during that. The NDP has more recently cut the political ties they had with the libs do to their overwhelming corporate ties publicly but more importantly they won't be helping out a genocide if elected and that's helped a lot lately. Tbh, it's probably gonna be a tory win for the next one but NDP seems to be looking better than ever for a 2nd place and a shot at pm for the election after next. If they pull it together instead of the cons that'd be cool, but seems unlikely
I dunno, I think the NDP needs to dump Jagmeet. His time has expired IMO. Although the NDP are notorious for keep on leaders well past their expiry date.
