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

the most charitable possible interpretation is that they are referring to their bourgeois donors and celebrity mouthpieces withdrawing support from the biden campaign... which begs the question... why do "the elites" support them in the first place, and why do they seek their approval, and resent being "sidelined" by them?

And isn't "the elites" just what petit bourgeois "normie" conservatives say because they can't possibly acknowledge class, and aren't mask off enough to go into antisemitic tropes? Could it possibly be that the democratic party is a party of reactionaries? Am I just saying my opinion in the form of a question?

Many such cases!

Watching Boden and his coterie just become blue maga has been amazing. Biden was even in orange makeup, he called in to his favorite show ro rant, he keeps saying he has the best polls and the bad ones don't count, just a perfect reflection. Even the comment about keeping trumps policies but not his rhetoric... just amazing.

Having a party where the “adults in the room” dictate to voters is precisely what these libs wanted.

If you don't get to indirectly imply you are among said adults while using that line then it loses its luster.
