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!
Is that weighted to account for the fact there are more Republican counties than Dem? Cuz it seems like overall red areas are getting redder and likewise for blue areas, which could create the illusion of a swing for Republicans if the population of those counties is not considered. On its face though, definitely not a great sign for the blue team
I don't think it's weighted like that, no. Yeah this could be about the geographic sorting in the US, where Republicans move to Republican areas and vice versa, and the early counties are all pretty Republican thus far. I think it's weighted by population though, so it should at least avoid your thing where there's just more Republican counties overall.
