Welcome to c/electoralism! politics isn't just about voting or running for office, but this community is.

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!

There's too much freedom in the US to throw anyone off the ballot, unlike authoritarian Venezuela. Sure, it might cause us to slip into fascism, costing millions of marginalized people their lives, but isn't it worth it? For the freedom?

Well, except third parties. You can throw them off the ballot along with the coffee and the morning newspaper. this-is-fine
