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!

Realizing that Trump's worst policies will be things that the Supreme Court would have done anyways under a Democratic president who wouldn't have lifted a finger to reign them in or diminish their power to govern.

Also it can't be overstated that the worst case scenario for Gaza is that Trump continues Biden's policy on Israel.

Oh r/neoliberal is glorious, they're tearing each other to pieces in there. They're turning on Biden, on Kamala, on Zelesnky, on each other. Nothing is sacred to them anymore. Honestly I have hope for a few of them to learn something

Something to have ready when the Democrats lose Georgia:

Atlanta Democrats Blocked the Cop City Referendum — and Alienated a Voter Turnout Operation

In the battleground state of Georgia, Democrats’ decision to disregard the will of 116,000 voters could have major consequences.

remember, no matter who wins, America gets the president it deserves

When the future histories talk about the fall of the American Empire I believe the first half of the 21st century will be talked about like we talk about Rome’s crisis of the 3rd century. A military, economic, and political collapse.

Militarily: Pulling out of Afghanistan, eating shit in Ukraine, one of the poorest countries in the world (Yemen) giving the most power navy in human history a black eye, and directing a genocide in Gaza

Economic: neoliberalism cannibalized the US productive economy so on-paper economic growth driven by people derivatives on ice cream cone sales.

Political: A democrat will win in 2028. Because we’re now in the terminal decline where everything just gets worse every year. Americans don’t know how to process this so they just blame the president. Obama is the last 2 term president the US ever has.

CNN released its first glimpse of the 2024 election results a little after 5 p.m. ET Tuesday. Exit polling is expected to shift throughout the night as more responses are collected.

In the poll, 43 percent of voters said they are "dissatisfied" with "the way things are going in the United States." Another 29 percent said they feel "angry."

You'd think after 236 years of pointless voting, everyone would have learned their lesson.

The libs are getting creepy with it folks. Yesterday someone came to the door and asked for me specifically, then asked who I was voting for? Thankfully I wasn’t the person who answered the door so I didn’t have to answer them. The postcards were weird (I also got one) but this is just creepy. I really regret changing my registration to Democrat for like one month in 2020 to vote for B*rnie

Tomorrow morning Phillie, Atlanta, and many other cities in swing states will turn in their vote counts. Kamala will be ahead by a razor thin margin. Trump will make an attempt to openly and nakedly steal the election, but JD Vance will assassinate him at the last moment to stop the steal. Kamala will give him the presidency to honor his act of selflessness. His first act as president is to nuke Tehran.

“Watch as we at US left wing news go to a local university to ask young voters about who they’re voting for.

We will be sure to avoid questions related to corporate capture, inflation, exuberant costs of living, rising costs of education and the US’s role in an active genocide.”

[–] Parzivus@hexbear.net 40 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I'm genuinely wondering a bit if pollsters are so terrified of losing their legitimacy any further that they're decided to just weigh the polls to roughly 50/50. Like they do have to do some math to try to guess what demographics are less likely to answer polls or whatever but after 2016 and 2020 the process probably looks insane.

I have to ask, if Trump is such a threat to the very democracy of this country why is he allowed to even run? The president was given the power to do anything they want and could have jailed him by now. What gives?

I don't think anything, shall we say, "exciting" will happen, regardless of the result. 2020 was far more tense. Everyone seems so exhausted this time around.

An important part of your leftist journey is deciding which obscure definitely not marginalized regional group you're going to be really really unreasonably racist about.

Just voted PSL. Had to write her in, but now I'm second guessing whether I did it right. Last name was supposed to be first? I just wrote Claudia De La Cruz.

Fuck it.

It never ceases to amaze me just how unbelievably incoherent the political opinions are of like 95% of this country. It really is on full display right now. Social media is unbearable. Left leaning people from all walks of my life who I thought would at the very least have to see past a little bit of Kamala and the Dem’s bullshit, just a liiiittle bit, are like no “the choice was between a queen and a monster and y’all chose monster” etc. Almost every person in my life has no genuine understanding of what it is they are experiencing or talking about. No curiosity to try to unpack anything. Critique and evaluate the information they are presented with. And honestly worst of all is that everyone is still, STILL, AFTER YEARS OF THIS CONSTANT CONFLICTING SHIT, at their deepest level, above all patriotic to this country. It’s lazy, pathetic, immoral, and deeply embarrassing. 95% of 330 million people, just outright propagandized zombie narcissists who have no fucking clue what they’re saying
