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.

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!

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"

Would be cool if they did it on the 5th

Definitely would benefit Trump since Kamala/Biden absolutely own the war/genocide in the middle east

Supposedly they are holding off striking Israel until after the election because they think it would help Trump. I guess the idea is Trump is such a wildcard there’s more chance he could just say fuck it and start an all out war with them

I think Israel does the Samson doctrine, nukes Iran and Lebanon
