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

"Step aside" doesn't mean "step down" or resigning. Kamala only really has claim if he's president and dies or resigns. If he just drops out of the race, then the DNC can pick someone else. And it is sort of understood that the DNC wants to pick someone other than Kamala. If they were cool with her running they probably would've forced Biden out by now.

That said, they're implying that they want Biden to die in office to justify Biden staying in the race which is still hella-brainworms just not how you made it sound.

. If he just drops out of the race, then the DNC can pick someone else

See, but there's very strong arguments to be made that if Biden were to do this, Kamala becomes the nominee.

She's the most obvious candidate but I don't think she's the most likely. I get the impression she doesn't have many friends in the DNC.
