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!

Bluesky libs sure didn't complain about this before the election. I'm not exaggerating that this moment of clarity post made me laugh pretty hard for more than five seconds.

sure doesn't feel like "let's run for the Reasonable Moderate Republican Vote" worked out real well, huh

leftists: "X is a pretty big issue with the Democrats and their campaign, they really need to address it and shift gears"

liberals: "okay, putinbot trumpists! I hope you're getting paid well by the Kremlin! X won't be an issue, it's actually great electoral strategy, for the following fifteen reasons. first..."

election day passes

liberals: "well, in this cycle's postmortem, I think we can say that X ended up being a significant issue with the electorate..."

I really fucking hope they reflect on this and realize supporting genocide was a bad idea or at least decide to stop moving to the right of Dick Cheney but I’m sure the lesson they’ll take from this is “stop running female candidates” or some shit like that instead
