the_dunk_tank
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

That’s not how it works in America. Campaign contributions win you elections. Without a stream of cash flow from campaign donors, you’re not winning anything. That’s how the system is designed to work.
I mean, I don’t not agree with you. The democrats clearly care more about winning corporate donors than elections. And if they do win then they govern in a way to keep those corporate donors for the next election.
That doesn’t change the reasoning that democrats could leverage public sentiment to win election after election. It’s just that that same public sentiment goes against the interest of capital.
I also don’t disagree. What I’m saying is that the system is rigged to give disproportionate power to the campaign donor class.
