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

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

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.
