I'm completely deranged right now
electoralism
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!
Consider the fact that from 1980-2016 (the era of neoliberalism), every president other than Bush Sr was a two-term president (and Bush Sr really was just Reagan’s third term). Then from 2016 on not only do we have single-term presidents, but we are switching parties each time.
Conditions are degrading and the nation that believes the only solution to problems is to vote is trying to mash the buttons to make things better
First accusation of being sexist and racist for saying Kamala ran a shit campaign has arrived lmao
For chud-brain dumbasses, Trump's Napoleon Arc is genuinely inspiring. Incredible persistence and lack of loser energy, he just refuses to permanently fuck off. We truly need leftist Trump, an annoying showman dude that never shuts up
Thew only good thing that happens during elections is once in a while you see a former BlueMAGA no matter who account standing on top of a T-34 waving the red banner and it's like "Wow, they can learn."
Needle at 69% Trump, I'm going to bed :catgirl-flop:
GG Kamala, should have considered the context instead of just expecting to fall out of a coconut tree and win.
The funniest part is that Trump is gonna end up getting roughly the same number of votes he got last time. Dems just had 10-15 million people not show up. Wonder why...
Realizing that Trump's worst policies will be things that the Supreme Court would have done anyways under a Democratic president who wouldn't have lifted a finger to reign them in or diminish their power to govern.
Also it can't be overstated that the worst case scenario for Gaza is that Trump continues Biden's policy on Israel.
It’s going to be funny if Trump wins and Brandon has to act like the president again for a few months.
The libs are getting creepy with it folks. Yesterday someone came to the door and asked for me specifically, then asked who I was voting for? Thankfully I wasn’t the person who answered the door so I didn’t have to answer them. The postcards were weird (I also got one) but this is just creepy. I really regret changing my registration to Democrat for like one month in 2020 to vote for B*rnie
The California ballot measure to ban prison slavery lost lmao fuck this piece of shit country
“Watch as we at US left wing news go to a local university to ask young voters about who they’re voting for.
We will be sure to avoid questions related to corporate capture, inflation, exuberant costs of living, rising costs of education and the US’s role in an active genocide.”
I voted for Claudia
I do think Kamala is gonna win, because the abortion ban has been an (undeserved) boon to the demoncrats. Men can’t even wipe their ass, and Trump expects them to hand him the election.
CNN released its first glimpse of the 2024 election results a little after 5 p.m. ET Tuesday. Exit polling is expected to shift throughout the night as more responses are collected.
In the poll, 43 percent of voters said they are "dissatisfied" with "the way things are going in the United States." Another 29 percent said they feel "angry."
You'd think after 236 years of pointless voting, everyone would have learned their lesson.
I'm genuinely wondering a bit if pollsters are so terrified of losing their legitimacy any further that they're decided to just weigh the polls to roughly 50/50. Like they do have to do some math to try to guess what demographics are less likely to answer polls or whatever but after 2016 and 2020 the process probably looks insane.
51% Trump
47% Harris
77% of votes in, lmao she completely ate shit in Pennsylvania
When the future histories talk about the fall of the American Empire I believe the first half of the 21st century will be talked about like we talk about Rome’s crisis of the 3rd century. A military, economic, and political collapse.
Militarily: Pulling out of Afghanistan, eating shit in Ukraine, one of the poorest countries in the world (Yemen) giving the most power navy in human history a black eye, and directing a genocide in Gaza
Economic: neoliberalism cannibalized the US productive economy so on-paper economic growth driven by people derivatives on ice cream cone sales.
Political: A democrat will win in 2028. Because we’re now in the terminal decline where everything just gets worse every year. Americans don’t know how to process this so they just blame the president. Obama is the last 2 term president the US ever has.
Won’t someone spare a thought for those criminal prosecutors who spent thousands of man-hours and spent millions of dollars to not convict only for the charges to slide right off Teflon Don?
Liberals on multiple occasions have quoted Malcolm X on social media in relation to pro-Kamala sentiments or disheartenment about her loss, and it's enraging me how many don't recognize the irony. Some of these libshits are white, and that makes it doubly ironic, but this particular post is by a black woman:

Today, I have no words—only tears. Tomorrow, I’ll find some. The next day, I fight.
It's this kind of shit that's prompted me to say what I said in the pinned c/agitprop thread.
maybe we should tell "israel" to uh, I don't know, maybe stop bombing? They're killing a lot of people you know
liberals: no,
republicans: no,
Just voted PSL. Had to write her in, but now I'm second guessing whether I did it right. Last name was supposed to be first? I just wrote Claudia De La Cruz.
Fuck it.
Sorry leftists but I bet 50.000 chilean pesos on Kamala and I need you to vote for her
I hope Holocaust Harris fucking loses.
Kid Killer Kamala deserves to get wrecked.
this just in: americans don't like politicians endorsed by dick cheney
Tomorrow morning Phillie, Atlanta, and many other cities in swing states will turn in their vote counts. Kamala will be ahead by a razor thin margin. Trump will make an attempt to openly and nakedly steal the election, but JD Vance will assassinate him at the last moment to stop the steal. Kamala will give him the presidency to honor his act of selflessness. His first act as president is to nuke Tehran.
I have to ask, if Trump is such a threat to the very democracy of this country why is he allowed to even run? The president was given the power to do anything they want and could have jailed him by now. What gives?
Oh so now that Trump won Gaza & Ukraine is fucked? It was going well before? WW3 could happen? Biden was the peacekeeper of the world or what? absolute wankers they live in an alternate reality
Damn it really is over
Why is anyone suprised at all? The average American is Trump personified
Oh r/neoliberal is glorious, they're tearing each other to pieces in there. They're turning on Biden, on Kamala, on Zelesnky, on each other. Nothing is sacred to them anymore. Honestly I have hope for a few of them to learn something
Absolute funniest outcome is liberals having their own Jan 6 after Trump wins

At Bluesky the mood was positive and optimistic as recently as this morning. That's gone. They're (very) worried.
she can absolutely still win via the blue wall but just for fucking once I would like to be pleasantly surprised by results with Trump on the ballot and once again it's worse than expected and I am fucking tired of it
I thought the presidential results would be contested for days or weeks and maybe the SCOTUS GOP judges would override the vote and give him the presidency. But Trump might just win it outright in ~6 hours or whatever. Sooner?
Not Dana White this is so stupid
EDIT: HE THANKED ADIN ROSS, THEO VON, AND JOE ROGAN!!!
remember, no matter who wins, America gets the president it deserves
