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’m probably being a huge edgelord for saying this, but I honestly feel that Americans who vote either democrat or republican don’t deserve quiet. All of them saw the genocide that both parties are supporting and thought, at best, “this is bad, but it doesn’t affect me enough to care.” or “more dead kids please!” at worst.

        Oh no these people need to be politically neutralized and kept under strict political and physical surveillance for the rest of their lives as well as barred from all government positions, teaching, military, media, anything where they could influence anyone. They’re fucking monsters. I need to get off Bsky because I’m legit going to puke if I see any more of this. They’re worse than Nazis. Nazis hate their victims and at some level that’s a recognition of their victims existence. Libs just don’t fucking care. Their victims don’t exist for them. There’s no hate or fear or even a desire to control and dominate. They just don’t care. There’s nothing. Just… nothing. I was going to go vote for some ballot initiatives but idk if I can go in to a polling place and confront these freaks after seeing what they really, truly are under the last scraps of the mask.

      Every screenshot I see from Bluesky is posters writing in this exact same cadence/style. Unreconstructed cringe posters from 2009. It would be almost incredible if I didn’t find them all so loathsome.
