YOU are speaking!
Have you made any poignant commentary on the recent election in the U.S.? Do you have a good response to liberals who are upset with the results or process of the election? Have you written or seen something as a comment reply/post that you think has standalone value? Did you see a new take or analysis you hadn’t previously considered?
Whether it’s a long idea with lots of context, or a short and sweet one liner, we want those thoughts aggregated here. This post is intended to be a resource for comrades to draw from when having actual discussions outside of Hexbear both online or IRL regarding the election.
Consider this a mini-effortpost aggregator. This is not for shitposts, but humor is completely acceptable if it helps make the point.
good to remind people: Trump didn’t win this, Harris lost this. Her turnout was lower than Biden’s by 15 million votes. Trump’s own turnout was less than in 2016, but the drop was smaller, iirc (I’d love to add a source for this), and I’ve heard some anecdotes suggesting that the reaction in Trump country has been surprisingly tame for having won an election (love to have sources for this too).
I don’t think the main takeaway from this election is that most Americans love whatever Trump represents to them. Harris just did not win a lot of people’s votes.
