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 have to ask, if Trump is such a threat to the very democracy of this country why is he allowed to even run? The president was given the power to do anything they want and could have jailed him by now. What gives?
Libs are conflict averse on an institutional level. They would rather let an election be stolen than question the legitimacy of the resulting government.
It’s maddening. 4 years of lawfare against him up in smoke because he becomes president and says “lol nope” to the charges and pardons himself.
Because the US is a clown country run by clowns
There aren’t many avenues to make him ineligible and the democrats are general rules following cowards. They could try him for treason or whatever is necessary to activate the 14th ammendment I think but that would be a big precedent since that was really meant only as a fuck you to confederates.
