put all of your election posting here so it doesn't bother anyone else!

from @[email protected]:

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!

It’s weird because a rational part of me is saying it’ll likely be Kamala with a slight lead but another part of me is saying Trump will surprise again. I said Trump would win 2016 and Biden in 2020 but this one is just so much harder to predict.

My prediction right when they chose Harris was that it will be a coin flip, and it seems like I'm mostly correct. I also felt like any other Democrat (except for Clinton lmao) would beat Trump pretty hard. But they chose Harris, which means she has to deal with Biden's administration as baggage. No amount of "distancing" means anything since she didn't invoke the 25th amendment. A big brain move would be if she actually did invoke the 25th amendment or put on a staged performance of threatening to invoke the 25th amendment.

Don't you know the Vice President can't go against the President? I've been told by libs it's illegal or something.
