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’ve had a pretty bad day so I decided to tune into the Majority Report live show just now for some schadenfraude, and they’re talking to liberal caller who sounds of the verge of tears, who keeps asking how do we know Trump even won democratically, how will we ever know when Democrats are gracious losers and too respectful to check? and then goes on to insist that while he agrees that “we need to get organised” it’s important to remember that it “doesn’t have to mean joining an organisation” and can just be personal little things.
Cuz I did the same thing, it’s less than 24 hours after the loss and they were already talking about their picks for 2028
These mfers wouldn’t know a theory of power if it punched them in the face ffs. How many crushing defeats do they need to take before they accept Marxism into their hearts?

I’m starting a union consisting of just myself, and will start “collective” bargaining within weeks
I’m imagining a guy starting a union of himself to collectively bargain with his wife for more sex and less nagging.
This really is a distillation of what zero materialism does. There’s been about four more calls now and they’re all a version of:
- This country is just racist, there’s nothing we can do.
- People are stupid and illiterate and it’s their fault.
- This must be a fix and this is unprecedented (followed by being annoyed when hosts point out 2000/2004, and that this one is almost certainly legit)
- Why are people so attracted to this fascist strongman image of Trump? (that we created, and it’s definitely nothing else)
The lib host is now crying enough that she cannot close the show or keep taking calls.
