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

Is there some reasoning that led them to this conclusion? What was that reasoning? What was the evidence that convinced them that this is the order of operations that will work?
"I dont know what happened all those other times, obviously if we push them to the left they'll fold to our pressure, i cant seem to recall what i had for breakfast"
They're young.
Or stupid.
I'm starting to see what people used to mean when they said to look at past movements and "listen to your elders" in regard to protesting and social change.
We repeat the same cycle every 8ish years where an entire age group comes of voting age, and ignores everything that happened before they were 18. It's why we aren't allowed to use Biden's whole record to criticize him or establish a pattern of being a racist, lying sex pest. It's why they still stand on the sidewalks with pithy signs with Harry Potter quotes on them and call it protest.
the Democratic party claims all victories fought by leftist grassroots movements and the Democratic voters believe it, and say tjat all of the strategies that won those battles are too extreme.
