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!

MODERATORS
 

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!

The only chart you need to explain this election:

Neoliberals can shout about how good the economy is all they want. A lot of people had more money in their bank account than they ever had before in 2020, and it went away under Biden. It's impossible to beat that feeling of having less of your paycheck in the bank by shouting about threat to democracy. I would argue this is why Trump is doing so much better among minorities than a lot of white, college-educated radlibs would expect.

Would you mind changing the title to US or United states election day? The US is not the Americas, and the US's use of america to refer only to itself and exclude central, south america, and the carribean has a long history that goes back to it's imperial ambitions to create a "greater america".

Everyone here saying she’s cooked but don’t be so quick to judgement. Every state that has been called was obviously going to either trump or Harris. For the more contested states though this race is so neck and neck though that “leading” doesn’t really mean anything when looking at the map. You’ll need to wait until the vast majority of counties, especially the large metro areas, have reported. This is one of the reasons why the chuds all called fraud during 2020 - they saw a nearly all red map early on turn blue by the time they got up the next morning

It seems like every election year, without fail, I am exposed to an inordinate amount of liberals who have the nerve to cry foul (toward leftists usually) about not voting/ voting third party

So fucking tired dude

Thesis: The reason dems are losing ground with POCs isn't because Trump is winning the men over; but because the older non-white generations have over the last 4 years been decimated at a higher relative rate thanks to covid and it's knock-on effects

r/politics speedrunning all stages of grief

Come on guys. Kamala was just a really dogshit candidate, regardless of Trump running or not. It's okay to admit that.

Just voted in new york.

For some reason they were using sharpies, not even fine point ones to fill out rhe ballot.

Could not even kinda of legibly write Claudia De La Cruz in the space. Oh well guess we'll find out if my vote was counted when there's zero votes for her in the county.

So hypothetical: What happens if Iran strikes isisrael today? Like 10x what they did last time. Not a "don't fuck with us" but a "you are dead" size strike.

Does that swing it for Kadolf because she is all "most lethal military" or to Trump because he is "I canceled the nuke deal and killed Soleimani"

roommate voted trump just because the rest of his family would and because he admittedly "[didn't] know anything about politics" agony-soviet

to his credit we're in south carolina so neither his vote or mine for de la cruz mattered
