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 Democrats don't see themselves as having any real incentive to move substantially to the left on any points other than in terms of almost entirely superficial work-identity-politics marketing. They will continue to campaign for college-educated people on the basis on their supposedly greater social progressiveness, while making absolutely no concessions on positions regarding class, and which means that in concrete reality they will not deal with the socio-economic structures that allow and reinforce other socially reactionary practices. Not only that, but it will just lead to further radicalization of the far right as they increasingly delegitimize themselves. A part of me suspects that the real danger is the Republicans securely grabbing enough of a working-class base to make it difficult for Democrats to win an election again, which would make the Republicans more brazenly not give any fucks and pass legislation they would otherwise be more hesitant to pass given the risk of alienating voters.
Like seriously who is gunna march and knock on doors for Biden other than the most depraved, gentrifying, condo-sniffing PMCs and trust-fund kid liberals?
