Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.

Please read the Chapo Code of Conduct and remember...we're all comrades here.

Shitposting in other comms please!

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!

Whether or not Donald Trump’s hat is in the ring, he’s finished as a serious contender for high office.

That’s not a line to write lightly. First, because he has been written off so often in the past — after mocking John McCain’s military record; after the “Access Hollywood” tape; after Jan. 6; after the Jan. 6 committee hearings — that it seems foolhardy to do it again. Second, because every time he is written off, his supporters seem to draw energy from their purported irrelevance. And third, because the line will surely be hung around my neck if I’m wrong.

But I’m not.

Have you laugh at bedbug today?

Just when I think they can't deliver, the Party delivers on it's promise to exceed their previous heights of incompetence.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/new-york-times-needle-election-predictor-launches-amid-tech-workers-union-strike/ar-AA1tzPVz

On Monday, The Times Tech Guild, which represents more than 600 engineers, data managers, designers, software developers and tech personnel at the paper, announced they had gone on strike after failing to reach a new contract with the New York Times Co. after “multiple rounds of intense bargaining.” The union, affiliated with the NewsGuild of New York, accused the company of unfair labor practices. A company spokesperson said the New York Times Co. was “continuing to work with the Tech Guild to reach a fair contract that takes into account that they are already among the highest-paid individual contributors in the company and journalism is our top priority.”

The union called out the Needle in its post on X Monday announcing the strike — showing the needle all the way to right predicting a “100% chance of a work stoppage”

Is this needle a scab needle?

I am sort of willing to believe the “she lost because she’s a Black woman” lib analysis. She was a shitty candidate, as was Hillary, but it’s not like Biden was a good candidate. He was sundowning from the start, he picked a cop running mate and his policies were “nothing will fundamentally change.” Maybe what he had going for him was the pandemic, general anti-Trump anger was stronger, and reverberations from the George Floyd protests but idk just seems like he was just as shitty as Hillary and Kamala but was able to beat Trump. Someone tell me I’m wrong

Edit: also I’m not saying this is the sole reason, far from it, but I can’t help but feel they do have a point and it played a role

NYT: >95% Trump

[–] [email protected] 21 points 6 months ago

Would like to believe that a Democrat loss would force the Biden staffer regime into political obscurity, scattering their power around a bunch of make work moderately paid NGO jobs and editorial columns, but they'll probably fail upward and be back to run another right wing campaign in 4 years.

There's no lesson you can teach the DNC, they aren't unaware of how their policies hurt and kill innocent people, there's no amount of photos of dead 2 year olds you can show them to get them to change course on Gaza. They're totally hollow subjects who got where they are by placating powerful people while cutting out or numbing any part of them that was redeemable or human.

Maybe foreign policy's impact on the actual vote are minimal, but in terms of these people's reason for existing, the justification for their actions that "Trump will do worse" (maybe true!), is kind of meaningless now that you're actively engaging in a holocaust, all that's left is a reptilian prey drive. That fucking smirk on Matthew Miller's face.
