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!

I really want the Dems to suffer for pushing genocide. But I know in the end they will just blame leftists and third party voters and not learn their lesson.

If Biden loses the election, anti-genocide leftists will be blamed. If he wins, anti-genocide leftists will be told to fuck off and that the result of the election is proof that the “adults in the room” are rejecting our “extremism.”

Democrats win, they move right.

Democrats lose, they move right.

How can we ever explain or understand such things?

I think you're wrong. We want to get blamed. That means we have enough power to swing elections, and even though rhetorically they'll say we're the bad guys for not bending the knee, we still hold the power to win them or lose them the elections, which is one step closer to having them listen.

Realistically they'll still rather eat the loss than let the left dictate what policies we want, but that will only sharpen the contradictions anyway. I see this as an absolute win.

Aren’t republicans fully on the isn’treal train as well?

It's an opportunity for us to push the correct narrative. It's up to us.
