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!

Once again, liberals are trying to blame George Bush on third party voters, ignoring the fact that the Supreme Court stole the election (and they let them get away with it).

2000 is so fucked

  • Nader's voters would not have changed the result even if they all went Dem

  • Vastly more Dems voted for Bush than there were total votes for Nader

  • Brooks Brother's riot

  • Jeb fucked with the election

  • The SCOTUS handed it to Bush in a judicial coup

  • And while I'm not 100% on this apparently Bush did actually win when the dust finally settled. Like the SCOTUS judicial coup was a coup, but it ended up the result would be the same if htey hadn't done it.

And the Dems have been clinging to this revisionist story than Ralph spoiled the election for a quarter of a century.
