IDK, maybe when more people here are getting screwed over, libs will radicalize and get off their asses instead of trying to guilt us for not giving legitimacy unconditionally to their favorite “lesser evil” bourgeois party.

Of course, using their meager leverage to extract concessions from the people supposedly representing them never crosses their minds…

Also imagine having the audacity to call us privileged when you see what’s going on in Gaza as a “single issue” instead of an escalation of violence by the ruling class that can and will go back to us.

Reminds me of this post I made 5 months ago. Might come in handy. Please add onto it and correct me because I'm a LIB about your favorite issue and was spitballing for a couple minutes


I don't think Biden being a pragmatic choice is a settled matter. I haven't seen anything that implies he is a meaningful distinction on things I care about.

Israel? Nope

Student debt? Nope

Abortion? Nope

Unions? Nope

Climate change? Nope

The border? Nope

Homelessness? Nope

War on drugs? Nope

Inflation? Nope

Tax lobbying? Nope

Healthcare? Nope

LGBT protection? Maybe if you squint your eyes

Campaign finance? Nope

Difference between productivity and purchasing power? Nope

Copyright? Nope

Breaking up big business monopolies? Nope

Oh yeah...

And...

WAR????????????????? FUCKING NO

The worst most hawkish fascist military might that has ever existed and continues to constrict the entire planet? Nope

The only difference is whether fascists get radicalized or they get emboldened

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
