It appears Trump is going to be the next president of US. I'm not sure such a thread is needed in the first place, but here goes.

Feeling anxious? Desperate? Got the expected result?

What do you think went wrong? What do you think went right? What do you think the future holds?

Nah. Plenty of anti-electoralists/accelerationists were happy to spread propaganda to help Trump. Now, as a far-leftist that doesn't buy that tripe, I'm gonna have to try to help people whose lives are now in far greater danger while they get off on their "moral superiority". Those people and Stein supporters can go fuck themselves while the grown-ups try to save people from the intended death camps.

EDIT: I didn't mean "regular" leftists like progressives and anarchists.

laugh go look at the numbers stein did jack shit. Keep burying your head in the sand.

Pennsylvania:

You refused to hear a call to stop a genocide you think you would have down anything remotely useful to shift harris on things like labor rights, healthcare, non competes, and monopoly busting ala khan?

Your problem was turnout. And you wouldnt even hear the call to save Wisconsin for harris. Probably the only state where 3rd party candidates did matter.

Turnout always is the problem. The anti-Harris propaganda was intended to discourage voters, and it worked. Congrats.

No "you" here. I'm a pragmatic voter and anarchist who in the course of a day has gone to an extremely high chance of losing loved ones through state-sponsored murder, political violence, and suicide. So, you'll excuse me if I don't give a fuck about the pretend "moral high-ground" of those claiming to care about genocide while putting their fingers on the scale for "turbo genocide", greater inaccessibility to health care, more monopolies, and more union busting.
