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

She has no political instincts whatsoever.
She could just sit back and disassociate herself from everything Biden has done but she's really going to go ahead and tie herself to supporting genocide before the election.

Yep. It was all 10x match money the bribers were holding back from

Kamala Harris breaks donation record and raises $81 million in a single day
I don't know how tf people read that title and didn't immediately drop Harris.
If you raise 81 million in a single day, you got all that money from super pacs. Regular people aren't feeling you, and even if they did 1 million a day would've been incredible.
She's not for regular people, she's no different than Biden or Trump.
I'm getting major "emperor has no clothes" vibes from her campaign .
Sure. Do that behind the scenes privately reassuring the donors then.
In public? Benefit from people not associating you with it all. Clean slate.
I'm with you. This is political malpractice. They had a unique opportunity to pivot to slightly different rhetoric that might win votes while not obligating them to anything. The undisputed heavyweight champion of meaningless word salad decided that this was the one issue where she needed to be explicit. I guess they'd rather lose than give anyone the impression that public opinion affects policy.
look at how Israel's politicians talk about Biden for pausing one single shipment of one type of munition while giving them every other thing they want for almost a year. The money wasn't going to show up if there was any public distancing whatsoever, Zionists require absolute public devotion
I think the money is contingent on publicly staying the course
She's quite expensive. Biden did it for one.
She exists in the context of all in which she lives and what came before her.
