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

Those are funny things. Wasn't Biden one of the least supported candidate in the last primaries with Bernie leading and multiple people between them? Then all of them suddenly supported Biden, and Bernie supported Biden too eventually. Weird how that democracy works.
You know what the saddest part is? I didn't even expect Bernie to be not-fascist (at least in terms of foreign policy), I just wanted to see how the system would handle him. We certainly got our answer, primaries that would have been called election fraud if they had occured in any under-developed country.
If Americas guy got treated like Bernie did there would have been drone strikes and sanctions by the end of the week (probably on Friday to give the media time to spin it while people are tuned out).
Biden won red state primaries. The system working as intended.
Biden won a single red state primary which meant he was the winner of the overall primary.
3 presidential runs and it was his first primary win.
The shit was rigged, but by giving southern states a say at all (especially that early) is part of how it was rigged. If they’d done swing states first, then strongholds, and then states they are guaranteed to lose the math would have been very different.
Now South Carolina is the first primary for dems. Its the new Iowa for them
Damn, that's such a fuck you blatant move at preventing another Bernie. Once again, the Dems only get their claws out and seriously play politics when it's to stop all movement leftward.
Exactly. They don't want us involved in politics at all except as a scapegoat, punching bag, or bogeyman
and this, kids, is how we got to the present, in which Biden isn't on the ballot in New Hampshire and needs to run a write-in campaign.
