    It’s all Harris’s fault everyone so definitely do not blame the absolute human garbage who didn’t vote even knowing the stakes

        Would those votes have mattered? Last I checked on Nov 5 only 70k votes went to 3rd party and the gap between Harris and Trump was much greater

          3rd party defenders coming out of the woodwork. Sorry you are all to blame. Let’s make it easy for these fools and just say “everyone who didn’t vote blue” instead of “3rd party and nonvoters”. Put all the garbage in the same garbage bag.

    Mutual aid will be more important than ever, join and build up your local groups if you’re able, it will pay off in dividends in the coming years.

    This election has only proven how electoralism cannot be relied upon, it’s just us now. We need to build the world we want to live in, without corporate influence.

    • Search your local area + ‘mutual aid’.
    • Help your local food not bombs.
    • Create a worker owned cooperative with your friends if possible, or join an existing one.
    • Help spread the meshtastic network to build up communication resilience in your community.
    • Plant trees in your community to help reduce the heat island effect for the coming heatwaves.
    • Create or join a community garden near you to bolster food availability and foster connections with those around you.
    • engage in guerrilla urbanism, make your community safer to walk or bike
    • encourage your coworkers to unionize under the IWW, contact them for help on how to unionize your workplace.
    • vote in your local elections to try and have a state or city government that is less hostile to the above actions, but continue to build decentralized power independently of them regardless. Do not make the mistake of handing off the responsibility to make things better to them, it’s up to YOU, and your community, and hopefully other nearby communities doing the same, but that is all.

    We have tremendous collective power if we just use it, and hopefully this outcome will result in us coming together and building that world in the shell of the old. Collective solidarity is our only solution left.

      I hadn’t heard of Meshtastic so I looked it up:

      “An open source, off-grid, decentralized, mesh network built to run on affordable, low-power devices”

      I would love yo get involved but it only supports Apple (iOS and Mac) and Android (and a web browser).

      I was hoping to host a node on a raspberry pi but those run Linux.

      Thanks for all the other suggestions though.

        There are LoRa hats available for rpi, and here’s the link for getting started with Linux devices from meshtastic themselves.

    Now that it’s clear that Harris’s really well run campaign underperformed Hillary Clinton, can we finally end the myth that some failing of her campaign strategy or “likability” was the primary reason for her loss rather than sexism and Comey’s shenanigans? It really seems like a very large number of men just won’t vote for a woman in the US.

      Her campaign was awful. Her whole deal was that she was going to do more of what Biden did. You know, the guy we didn’t want to reelect so she stepped up to run? Also she pushed right the whole time. She gunned for centrist votes. She should have leaned into Walz’s policy ideas on a broader scale. In fact, walz probably would have had a pretty good chance if he were the DNC candidate. She also campaigned in the strangest places. Why on earth did she rally in Houston? She could have gone anywhere in the swing states with the Beyonce performance but she went to a city that was already going to vote blue on a state that has a moonshot’s chance to flip from red. She should have spent more time in GA, PA, and AZ. But hindsight is 2020.

      Sorry, but she had a ton of hype and squandered it by saying she would be the same as Biden, would have the most lethal military, didn’t separate on Gaza, focused on small businesses instead of all Americans, flipflopped on Medicare and fracking in both the worst ways, picked a progressive vp and caged him in bad neoliberal talking points instead of adopting his hard agenda, and tried to push for a republican written border bill instead of trying to reframe the issue in a any progressive way. Most Americans, Republicans included care about immigration and ALSO agree on a pathway to citizenship.

      People gave her the benefit of the doubt and she told them to accept her as she wanted to be. You can’t continue to shame a voter base indefinitely, politicians are supposed to campaign in a way that wins votes.

      I mean, her campaign was pretty awful in a lot of ways. It started out strong but since the DNC it was misstep after misstep. I dunno about you, but I love hearing the president say they’ll only be different than Biden, because they’ll have more Republicans in their cabinet. I love hearing they’re going to build the wall. I love hearing them talk all the time about the fact that Cheney endorsed them. I love hearing how profracking they are. And I love their silence on the genocide in Gaza. Certainly, sexism and racism plays a role, but let’s not kid ourselves here.
