YOU are speaking!

Have you made any poignant commentary on the recent election in the U.S.? Do you have a good response to liberals who are upset with the results or process of the election? Have you written or seen something as a comment reply/post that you think has standalone value? Did you see a new take or analysis you hadn’t previously considered?

Whether it’s a long idea with lots of context, or a short and sweet one liner, we want those thoughts aggregated here. This post is intended to be a resource for comrades to draw from when having actual discussions outside of Hexbear both online or IRL regarding the election.

Consider this a mini-effortpost aggregator. This is not for shitposts, but humor is completely acceptable if it helps make the point.

    might i add, the one part of the 2016 campaign that wasn’t replicated was the identity politics focus. harris did not lose (primarily) due to her race or gender, in part because she didn’t make the campaign about that. i think that part of the reason misogyny had such legs in the 2016 campaign was clinton’s choice to make “elect a woman” a core argument. clinton, a clueless white woman, ate shit on identity politics because she hadn’t considered the possibility that outside of her own circles that wouldn’t perform well. the harris campaign was executed worse, but at least seemed to understand that. anyone who tries to argue that harris lost on those grounds should take a good hard look at what actually happened.
