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!

Found a site with more precise vote counting https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/

I made this comment based on Green Party results compared to 2016, but actually, this seems like it's the best PSL has ever done. And that's without all of California counted, too! Also worth noting that the Greens (despite their poor performance) appear to have done better than the Libertarians, which I don't think has ever happened. They did better than RFK as well. So at least there's that.

Probably like 10 votes at that time. It was like immediately after the drop

Based on the ramblings of my brother and a kind of dumb coworker, rfk was probably a spoiler for the libertarians. The dumb non Trump voters just couldn't get behind a candidate and the greens got to show them up.
