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!

      I think you’re wrong. We want to get blamed. That means we have enough power to swing elections, and even though rhetorically they’ll say we’re the bad guys for not bending the knee, we still hold the power to win them or lose them the elections, which is one step closer to having them listen.

      Realistically they’ll still rather eat the loss than let the left dictate what policies we want, but that will only sharpen the contradictions anyway. I see this as an absolute win.
