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!

I'm split on who wins. For a long time I leaned Trump, but these recent days... I think the dems might actually pull off the mythological "moderate" republican. Trump is weird, JD Vance is weird, Elon is incredibly weird, they're all cringy and Kamala is worse than most republicans, so maybe she gets them. On the other hand she loses a large amount of voters the dems take for granted, on account of her being a republican now.
I dunno.

I think she wins solely because of abortion. Yeah, dems didn't do anything to protect abortion rights, but they're also not the freaks showing up to protest or bomb abortion clinics and harass women on the daily. "Not actively making things worse" plays well for people in a lot of circumstances.
