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.

  • Right now I think it would be wise to hammer on the DNC’s incompetence and demand the leadership be replaced. People need to lose faith in it before anything else can rise up - whether or not they mean to be controlled opposition, they’re having the effect of being one.

    Legitimize people’s legitimate concerns, and provide context where you feel like they’re coming at it from a reactionary angle. Give them the bigger picture - the bigger problem. Use your intersectional knowledge to tie their concerns into leftist concerns.

    Potentially even talk about dual power and how communities need to start taking more initiatives for themselves in the face of climate change, economic instability, food deserts, etc. Push against financial solutions for such initiatives that would require going into debt or giving special rights to investors. Try to pitch for solutions that get lots of people mobilized and organized instead. Contrast that to playing “follow the leader” under corporate political parties for so many years.
