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

These are the Pod Save America libs (and former Obama aides) for those mercifully unaware

Democrat civil war? Kind of surprised they would turn on Obama with how heavily they revere him.

I think this idea comes straight from Biden, he's never been a particularly clever guy and people suffering from dementia/alzheimers often get paranoid and aggressive. I think he's probably harbored a hate for Obama because he's always been more popular, more competent, etc, and now it's coming out.

Also I don't really doubt Clooney and other DNC boosters/donors/officials would reach out to Obama, the guy who told Biden not to run in 2016 and 2020, to make sure they have his blessing. No orchestration really involved, just reaching out to the more popular, wiser, and not geriatric de facto "leader" of the party to make sure they're not fucking up by saying what everybody already knows.

reminds me of that video clip where Obama and Biden are both in a crowd of what looks like other politicians and everyone is clamoring to shake Obama's hand and Joe is just standing there like "wtf I'M the president"
