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

MODERATORS
Not really true. Who ran against Biden? Dean Philips? Cenk Uygur? Those aren't real candidate. Also several states did not list any alternative candidates. North Carolina was the first to close ballot registration so that only Biden appeared on the ticket. The North Carolina ticket had 2 options Biden or "no preference". Also some states such as Florida refused to even hold a primary and declared Biden to be the de facto winner. There was no real primary. It was a farce so that now Biden can lie to people and say that 90% of Democrats want him to be the nominee.
How dare you forget orb mommy & brainworms?
I don't think an honest argument can be made about the quality/amount of ther candidates after the early announcers were instantly sidelined and ignored. At that point it is clear that the party apparatus would end your career and the safe bet is waiting a year or two for Biden to croak.
RFK is not running as a democrat, he's running as third party. Cornell West and Jill Stein are also third party. I'm talking about the democratic primary election. Marianne is a meme, she only got votes because she became a member of the uncommitted campaign where uncommitted wasn't an option. In states such as Virginia where uncommitted was not an option, the uncommitted campaign told people to vote for Marianne.
I'm not sure why you think that you're disagreeing with me. You agree that the party apparatus either blocked them from running or told them not to run. That means that nobody ran against Biden in the election. I'm not saying nobody wanted to run.
RFK ran as a democrat and ended that campaign to run as an independent & I don't think Marianne was a serious candidate, I just object to the "Biden won the primary" / "No one opposed Biden" news headline and lemmyverse post bullshit.
I don't think that I disagree with you in a broad sense but people actually did run and I think those attempts being killed is a meaningful thing to mention
