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

Please read the Chapo Code of Conduct and remember...we're all comrades here.

Shitposting in other comms please!

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!

what are the odds of kilometer-wide meteorite hitting north america within the next few hours?

[–] SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

unsure, but I've put my ballot into the yellowstone supervolcano in the hopes it'll lead America to a bright (as in, red-hot) future

Would also lower global temperature by about .5 C

Even events with probability 0 still happen scared

so there is still hope

Let's go to the enormous touchscreen map and see how an apocalyptic meteorite would change the suburban soccer moms vote in this shit county in a swing state.

but if we zoom out we can see how insignificant that meteorite really is, and that it wouldn't actually matter much

Lemme go look straight up...

Not looking good I'm afraid.
