It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The banning non-competes is actually pretty good, don't get me wrong, but that also wasn't really him.

If these aren’t making headlines then that’s your fault lol. What the fuck are these people doing with their tens of millions of dollars if they don’t bother broadcasting propaganda for their party? He cares more about Ukraine and Israel, and frankly so does the media that keep glazing him.

Seriously, Liberals blame this lack of headlines on the people or the media, but ask them to fund non-paywalled, nonprofit pro-Democrat newspapers, and they will be too invested in smelling their own farts to say anything other than "We're not gonna add to the mud slinging, we're bigger than that!"

The idea of maybe fucking bragging without tact is beyond them not because of a lack of means, but because they can't let go of the high they get from their self-identification as the "decent" people.

And then they have the audacity to express disgust at Trump for putting his name on the outgoing stimulus checks near election time, rather than facing up to the fact that it is simply good politics with a measurable electoral impact. Democrats do not value having the power to protect the groups they claim to care about, at least not more than they value their ability to self-identify as the party of respectability and moderation.

"Democracy dies in darkness" is rich coming from the institutions that are clouding the skies with bullshit stories about the Trump trials or whatever the fuck.

Isn't MSNBC the Democrat media? I always thought it was like the liberal Fox.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Not really, it is wildly out of sync with the American left and even younger Dems because its key viewers are in the 45-65 demo and those people only care about Russiagate and Trump violating norms.

MSNBC runs absolutely no pieces galvanizing and reaffirming left wing belief. They also actively tried to deboost Bernie Sanders in both Dem primaries he was in, and their morning show, Joe Biden's favorite, is hosted by a Republican congressman who pines for the "reasonable Republicans" of the Bush era. They are fully pro-deregulation, pro-Imperialist and pro-Israel mouthpieces for the wealthy and retired liberals of yesteryear, fully out of touch with current US left wing discourse.

On the flip side, Fox sources it's stories straight from wingnut blogs and crawls to find local stories covering things like an annual Christmas display being removed, or other bits of nothing, and build whole outrage rousing segments about looming threats to America out of them. And the Republican Party sets its messaging around what Fox gets its viewers to care about, whereas what The Dem Party cares about sets what MSBNC's messaging to viewers is.

DNC: "why isn't anyone talking about any of the GOOD POLICIES we barely passed??? Anyway, gotta prep Biden for another press conference where he'll say he's gonna mildly scold Netanyahu if he blows up a 3rd orphanage."
