put all of your election posting here so it doesn’t bother anyone else!
from @CoolerOpposide@hexbear.net:
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!
Remember last election when, in the final days, biden promised a huge amount of student debt relief (he lied)
At least we got a fraction of the covid stimulus he promised (then he killed like a million people by ending lockdowns)
Now we get NOTHING, not a promise for climate change action, or healthcare reform, or the promise to do less genocide and war. Not even a promise to take executive action on women’s rights (the senate isn’t going to pass a bill, and I feel like everyone secretly knows this). Shit’s bleak in burgerland
I remember watching the DNC in 2020 because I’m twisted like that and the whole messaging was completely different, it was basically Biden (who was still blatantly in a state of mental decline) saying “Listen, Jack. I’m gonna end racism, fix climate change, cure cancer etc etc”.
Obviously it was all a pack of lies to anyone paying attention but it’s crazy how the DNC this year was pretty much all just militarism.
