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 am sort of willing to believe the “she lost because she’s a Black woman” lib analysis. She was a shitty candidate, as was Hillary, but it’s not like Biden was a good candidate. He was sundowning from the start, he picked a cop running mate and his policies were “nothing will fundamentally change.” Maybe what he had going for him was the pandemic, general anti-Trump anger was stronger, and reverberations from the George Floyd protests but idk just seems like he was just as shitty as Hillary and Kamala but was able to beat Trump. Someone tell me I’m wrong

Edit: also I’m not saying this is the sole reason, far from it, but I can’t help but feel they do have a point and it played a role

TBH I'm more willing to blame her loss on just having a dogshit campaign. I dunno what she was cooking when she was bragging about being stronger against immigration than Trump and not even being willing to support an arms embargo towards Israel, but it definitely wasn't anything good.
