What turned me to the left wasn't Bernie per se, but how the DNC was exposed to be cheating in Hil's favor and how the Wikileaks report that exposed it was buried by the media.

There was a clear party interest in opposing leftward movement, and a clear media collusion in that.

This greatly disillusioned me

The "coin toss" rituals were such an obvious ratfuck during the primaries: ever watch the videos of the "coin tosses?" The loyal ghouls doing them caught the coin, glanced at it, then set it down on the arm. what-the-hell

It doesn't take a math teacher to tell someone that 9 coin tosses out of 10 going to hillgasm on actual fair coin tosses is very, very unlikely.

There was some obscure coin toss thing in Iowa to determine delegate numbers in the primary, Hilary "won" six in a row with a ~1.5 percent probability

I watched it happen live, one toss at a time. All my faith in the DNC died that day.

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.
