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!

At Bluesky the mood was positive and optimistic as recently as this morning. That's gone. They're (very) worried.
she can absolutely still win via the blue wall but just for fucking once I would like to be pleasantly surprised by results with Trump on the ballot and once again it's worse than expected and I am fucking tired of it
I thought the presidential results would be contested for days or weeks and maybe the SCOTUS GOP judges would override the vote and give him the presidency. But Trump might just win it outright in ~6 hours or whatever. Sooner?
I wonder how they calibrate the needle, I'm not seeing much to make it clear it's leaning in one direction or another right now.
Part of it is that she now has to sweep MI, PA, and WI. And come back in VA. Some of her previous paths to victory are closed off by losing GA and NC
Is The Needletm still going to work if those NYT tech workers go on strike or did that get settled
LOL. Hope it dies and starts giving HTTP 500 Internal Server Error when the election is one elector away from being called.
Lots of bsky.fash thumping each other on the back and assuring each other it was gonna be a Kdolph blowout this morning.
