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

They're going to the mat defending a genocidal racist who is slipping into dementia, and they are going to lose.

Pretend I made a meme where the DNC is Gollum falling towards magma, and Joe Biden is the ring.

Good. They deserve worse than losing for committing genocide. I don't support the Republicans but I need the Democrats to lose this one.

If dems are this spineless to a senile Biden with a god-awful hand (Nate Silver had a decent article on this) , then imagine what they will do when Trump is in office with unlimited power.

I could absolutely see these politicians giving up their donor lists to give a list of potential dissenters to target if it means saving themselves.

Just FYI to anyone who has donated to libs in the past.

Worst thing bernie did was give his donor list to the shitlibs.

I'll never forgive his ass for that

As Biden has proven, they support 90% of Trumps agenda. They just aren't boorish about it. Biden took most of Trumps policies and streamlined and normalized them. Even with apparently unlimited power Biden's not going to use any of it and just hand off the god emprorer crown to Trump. We'll be hearing from a lot of "independent" voters about how they don't support Trumps agenda, but how voting for a senile old man is irresponsible. If democrats are determined to walk down this path there is nothing anyone can do about it.

idk why she thinks such blatant opportunism is going to win her any support.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

She’s the congressional equivalent of that terminally mid girl in high school who desperately tries to win the respect of the cool, mean girls but gets rebuffed every time.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

It will win her money though

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

She's trying to leapfrog from grassroot support to cog in the party machine asap. She thinks she's rhe next generations Pelosi instead of the next generations bernie now. (Although bernie is shitting the bed just as bad in this one)

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So when's DSA gonna threaten to kick her out of their party of she doesn't condemn genocide joe

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Never because they're a get out the vote org for the Democrats and not a political party in any sense

They sound like CPUSA but without the red baggage

As a former member of both this is accurate.

ERROR: The Progressives could not be satisfied.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Why would AOC stick her neck out for any of the rivals, none of whom are progressive? Why is everyone here clutching pearls about Biden staying in the race, when at every opportunity every hexcomment is about how he deserves to lose and decrying any support for 99pct Hitler?

Let the centrists eat themselves.

AOC is going to be the 2020 Elizabeth Warren in a future democratic primary
