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!

Am I acting paranoid for suspecting that somebody deliberately tampers with these statistics?

I read somewhere that everybody except for white men voted in greater proportions for Trump four years ago than they did eight years ago, and I found that very hard to believe; I never saw anybody explain that, unless maybe the general turnout was smaller.

Turnout is way WAY smaller. Trump still hasn't reached the number he had when he lost last time, Kamala is like 15 million short of Joe.
