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!

Liberal family said people need time to mourn. I said fuck that shit, if you couldn't expect the outcome then you're not informed enough. They said it's good to have optimism. I said it's delusion. Maybe I'm being too harsh but their reactions feel so performative

Denial is the stage of grief you have before you're having a grief.

Do what I've been doing: tell them they should be celebrating that the genocide was not majority-endorsed. (Yes, this is also a backhanded way of telling them they did a bad.)
