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 the Waltz doing well thing is overrated. Yes he had a few good jokes, but the VP debate against Vance was the tipping point for the Harris campaign, it’s when they started going down in the polls. Waltz blew it badly.

      Do you think anyone remembered all his actions against BLM back in '20? It was kind of shocking that they picked him after that but I guess they were going for the same thing they did with Obama and Biden, having a vicious older white racist in the VP to ensure anti-cracker-aktion that the Black POTUS candidate was okay.
