put all of your election posting here so it doesn’t bother anyone else!

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!
My trans partner is voting for the first time since like 2016 or something, naturally scared of Project 2025. Naturally I have some sympathy for people in a more vulnerable spot, but I’m obviously getting a wall when I mention how Kamala is already giving trans people the cold shoulder.
I think that’s the most depressing part of having conversations about this with marginal groups. Like, I know it’s bleak but don’t you remember them pulling this same stunt with immigration last election cycle? It took them less than 4 years to do an about face, I’m not sure what makes people believe their group will be the exception.
