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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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 person this was about was trying to organise a bloc of arab american voters in swing states were their support was crucial to biden winning in 2020 to threaten to withhold their votes if biden didnt stop sending Israel 14 billion dollars a year to carry out ethnic cleansing against palestinians and being their most steadfast supporter in the world, if biden goes ahead anyway and loses the election because of it its entirely on him.
we always hear this argument that the voter base of the democrats has to continually compromise more and more with the right until there's almost nothing left for them but never that the democrats need to compromise with the voters, if Biden was willing to stop supporting zionist fascism abroad the democrats would instantly win a very loyal voter bloc of arab americans, but if he doesnt then he'll almost certainly lose the next election, at this point the crux of the matter is how committed Biden is to supporting fascism to further american interests abroad that he's willing to let the openly fascist president return at home too, or whether he'd rather not throw away the election to support a war criminal who's killed 50% more children in just 3 weeks than putin has killed in 2 years in ukraine.
This for real! If the us is such a champion of democracy, why is it the voters who have to compromise with the politicians and not the other fucking way around? THEY are the damn civil servants -supposedly- not you.
But then again, everyone on grad know that is just a facade and that the us for all it's posturing about "liberal democracy", "separation of power", "multy parties system" and others pseudo-democratic liberal brainrot, completely fail to answer to the will of the peoples no matter who is elected, which is why we mostly dont bother with voting.
