electoralism

Fuck I woke up, saw the results and just realized I'm gonna have to deal with my lib civility teachers today. I'll just keep like a running tally of what identities I hear being blamed for kamala losing

It seems like every election year, without fail, I am exposed to an inordinate amount of liberals who have the nerve to cry foul (toward leftists usually) about not voting/ voting third party

So fucking tired dude

"It doesn't matter who we vote for in (my state) because of the electoral college" seems to be hitting libs harder than usual this season, lol

Easy to get them on the same page as me again by saying "it's too bad Trump didn't get his head blown off that one time"

Holy shit lmao we might actually get 306-232 a third time in a row.

I kinda hope we have another event as funny as Jan 6

when it happened it was funniest day on the site

feels appropriate

I know this is petty, but if Trump ends up winning I'm going to troll reddit libs for like a solid week about how Putin is now in command of the country.

If only libs passed 15 bucks minimum wage, huh. Too bad parliamentarian said no

Evil is real Idk what else to say about this I'm honestly at a loss for words

Reporting from MSNBC - NBC just called Pennsylvania for Trump. Rachel Maddow is increasingly stuttering, she's blinking a lot, her eyes are glassy.

EDIT: They pan the shot away from the panel to Trump's empty podium because the state of Rachel, Jen Psaki, and Joy Reid facial expression. No more visual on the state of their faces, just voiceovers.

Back to you, hexbear election megathread

At this point dems are putting women out there on purpose to lose so people get this idea that women can’t run anything. I literally can’t think of anything else, how the fuck do you lose the POPULAR VOTE???? THE FUCKING POPULAR VOTE

Checked r/politics and there was a self-styled centrist scolding the "left" for Kamala's defeat

Thesis: The reason dems are losing ground with POCs isn't because Trump is winning the men over; but because the older non-white generations have over the last 4 years been decimated at a higher relative rate thanks to covid and it's knock-on effects

r/politics speedrunning all stages of grief

Come on guys. Kamala was just a really dogshit candidate, regardless of Trump running or not. It's okay to admit that.

Figuring out where the highest concentration of hexbears are by what state has the most psl votes

I think this analysis is spot on, at least it's scientific enough

Would you mind changing the title to US or United states election day? The US is not the Americas, and the US's use of america to refer only to itself and exclude central, south america, and the carribean has a long history that goes back to it's imperial ambitions to create a "greater america".

Bluesky libs sure didn't complain about this before the election. I'm not exaggerating that this moment of clarity post made me laugh pretty hard for more than five seconds.

sure doesn't feel like "let's run for the Reasonable Moderate Republican Vote" worked out real well, huh

Lol they've already started blaming the left and Muslims.

New emoji? :walz-despair:?

r/politics is shitting themselves

Jill Stein @ 3% calling it now

vote early - vote often

Everyone here saying she’s cooked but don’t be so quick to judgement. Every state that has been called was obviously going to either trump or Harris. For the more contested states though this race is so neck and neck though that “leading” doesn’t really mean anything when looking at the map. You’ll need to wait until the vast majority of counties, especially the large metro areas, have reported. This is one of the reasons why the chuds all called fraud during 2020 - they saw a nearly all red map early on turn blue by the time they got up the next morning

roommate voted trump just because the rest of his family would and because he admittedly "[didn't] know anything about politics"

to his credit we're in south carolina so neither his vote or mine for de la cruz mattered

Just voted in new york.

For some reason they were using sharpies, not even fine point ones to fill out rhe ballot.

Could not even kinda of legibly write Claudia De La Cruz in the space. Oh well guess we'll find out if my vote was counted when there's zero votes for her in the county.

One of the few funny things that will happen is that Elon Musk will have meltdown if Kamala wins

Any lib who asks why I didn't vote is getting my international adoption/citizenship rant

I can't even open a savings account I do not give a fuck about which genocidal xenophobic warmonger wins

What do we learn, Palmer?

My boss (libbed up): I don't want to live in 1938 Germany because of a certain candidate

Me trying to not shout something like "we already live in the Fourth Reich motherfucker": well ya know the government is already dysfunctional and a lot stuff is handled by states and we can't be sure what he'll be able to do

Me on my fringe communist forum: they're both fascists anyway so who cares. the corporations are just going to get the raw brutality they want regardless.

We shall see tomorrow if moderate republican white women vote for a black woman

Both teams tried their worst, and we all lost
