US Election Day November 2024 Containment Megathread
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!

Just put in my ballot for Claudia De La Cruz. Wrote in Joseph Stalin for all the local "entrepreneur vs cop" races, and voted appropriately on measures. Never gonna vote for a Democrat ever again.
Every so often I find myself thinking back and juxtaposing my current view of US electoral politics to how I felt on the day of the 2020 Nevada caucus. What a fucking radicalizing experience the 2020 primary was, and it becomes more and more radicalizing the longer time goes on and reveals to us none of it ever mattered.
Yeah same here. It was right after Bernie was snuffed in that primary that I said fuck this and started reading the Communist Manifesto. Pretty wild how far many of us have come since 2016 and 2020. And yet here things are, continually worse. But I’m glad we can at least see past the veil
the old chapo "where did that bring you, back to me"
after bernie lost was the straw that broke the camels backNot even kidding, same here lol. It's the inspiration for my username.
I remember seeing Biden's numbers completely flip after Bernie was steamrolling the primaries and then they launched that massive media campaign to brand him "unelectable." It was the first time I truly realized that yes, the ruling class can do that and it broke down an important wall that led me to where I am now.
