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!

Take the electoralism challenge:

No media or internet, and no active engagement in IRL discussions about politics, starting from next week, until you find out who the winner of the US elections is.

Those who make it to the end of the month without knowing get a gold star.

There's no way I'm not knowing since I'm a news thread head.

However I am out of the country and my wife and I made our final predictions and have agreed not to talk about it until atleast Wednesday.

She says trump squeak it out and I'm still on Kamala winning by just enough.

Of course regardless

This is considerably easier for comrades outside the US

Remarkably Europeans are obsessed with this shit, it's just as popular as the first two phases of the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Only European US-election-heads are even more insufferable.

At least they know that Europe is actually ruled in Washington

US politics is the best reality TV available to everyone outside of the US
