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

"Bernie's supporters have been very, very damaging to him, and it's really frustrating to see and experience. They don't realize how influential they are. It's frustrating to feel like they are hurting him," Ocasio-Cortez said in the midst of the 2020 primary, according to the book. "I feel like Warren is scooping up LGBT, progressives, women, and progressives of color because of how they isolate."

She also worried that the behavior of Sanders's supporters were "forcing an unnecessary choice between class analysis and race analysis" through their "behavior, not so much policy."

Ocasio-Cortez made those comments as she mulled whether to endorse Sanders's 2020 campaign, even though she had worked as an organizer on his 2016 campaign.

REMEMBER PUMAS

REMEBER WHEN 25% OF CLINTONS SUPPORTERS PROUDLY VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE TO SPITE OBAMA FOR BEATING HILLARY

REMBER WHEN THOSE SAME PEOPLE TURNED AROUND AND ACCUSED BERNIE SUPPORTERS OF DOING THE EXACT SAME THING EVEN THOUGH EXIT POLLS EXIST

I think you're missing the fourth bullet point, blame literally every single thing in the observeable universe other than yourself.

But then again there isn't a gopblestitouoty party so it not quiet as pithy.

Also that acronym came out way closer to being prounouncable than I expected.
