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!

      The border is closed you brain-dead fuck, the “illegals” came legally you dumb motherfucker, are you seriously under the delusion 12 million people crossed a fucking desert led by a border coyote

      Biden has deported more people than Trump or Obama ever did, all because they didn’t have the “correct” paper work, so yes shut the fuck up and stop spreading racist bullshit

        Also, people illegally circumventing the militarized border fascism should 100% be supported and rewarded for their bravery, in fact. They are contributing more to the well-being of our society than all the colonizing racists combined.

          Undocumented workers are hugely beneficial to the tax base because they pay taxes but cannot access most benefits, resulting in a huge net gain to the tax base. They’re kinda the perfect Neoliberal subject - They pay taxes but receive no public benefits, they have to submit to the law because they have no legal standing, and unemployment probably means exile. Plus, employers can discipline their labor force by calling ICE at any time to crush any dissent.

      how about this, Government implements a universal job guarantee so anyone (with or without citizenship) gets a 40hrs a week job, minimum wage. there you go, the wage can no longer be depressed below the Government guaranteed one.

      also, remain in Mexico was/is incredibly cruel not that you care.
