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.

Data for Progress - Democrats Need to Be Stronger Advocates for Trans and Queer People

Our polling reveals that Republican politicians advocating for anti-LGBTQ+ legislation are out of step with the American electorate. Likely voters oppose this legislation and are willing to support Democratic politicians who directly fight it.

However, despite the progress made in trans rights and increased visibility of trans people in American society, many Americans remain uninformed about transgender people. Anti-trans activists exploit this lack of awareness to push discriminatory legislation. Our polling highlights that knowing trans people and experiencing queer culture significantly improves likely voters' support for trans and queer rights. Increasing public awareness and understanding of transgender and queer people shouldn’t solely be the responsibility of trans people. The Democratic Party should also play an active role in this effort, using its platform to demonstrate to Americans who have never met a trans person that trans people are just as human as they are.

Visibility = Freedom in data. But vote crowd is courting neocons while telling "the left" to get bent.
