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!

I see a lot of people here saying they dread getting blamed for Kamala losing, but isn't that the whole point?

Blamed as a political force to prove to the Democrats that they cannot hope to win elections while engaged in the worst crime? Good.

Blamed as Frank the communist who actually has to interact with people? It's gonna suck. : (

100%. There's also the matter of making elections matter in this increasingly fascist country, but knowing it might not may also be what will push people to join organizations or unions and try to effect change outside elections. We're going to have to fight. And I'll probably have to finish reading my Lenin lol.
