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

This is going to sound like a tinfoil hat theory to defend her actions so lemme say she's dumb as fuck, a huge dissapointment and a certified lib.
I think her and Bernie are trying to triangulate (poorly)
It's a bunch of power seeking dems calling for biden to drop out based on horserace bullshit, nobody's actually arguing to replace him with somebody with better politics just better optics of not being the fucking crypt keeper.
I think bernie and AOC think they're being very clever by advocating for biden so that when he does eventually step down and then his replacement loses anyway they can say "can't blame us progressives for this one we were saying he should stay"
Unfourtunatly their plan boils down to getting liberals to stop blaming them for everything by becoming turbo libs.
Or they could just say nothing and accomplish the same thing
Not really, seems like he's going to get replaced if he has to be dragged out screaming so they want to be on the record advocating for him because in this scenario they think the statements won't affect the actual outcome but in hindsight they can say they weren't the one "splitting the party"
If they said nothing people would just say it was the progressives (I know, meaningless descriptor) that called for biden to be replaced and cost the dems another election.
Again they're making the mistake of trying to argue withing dems framework where Clinton ran a great campaign and leftists were just to sexist to support her.
There is no scenario in which they won't get blamed. The democratic machine will invent some justification for punching left
