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

I know I’ve expressed dislike for the guy in the past, but seriously? I thought for even something like this, he would at least have a good take on it.

The polls that gave the election to Gonzalez were from Edison which is a State Dept cutout

I'm talking about pre-election polls, not exit polls. Idk, I've heard Venezuelan pollster are not great, especially firms like Meganalisis but who knows

Ah, sorry. Still, the fact the US had their guys in there gives a lot more weight to the notion this is just Guaido 2.0 and Maduro won cleanly, and I've yet to see any concrete evidence that there was anything actually fishy with the elections. The exit polls from Hinterlaces line up with the official results so I can't see why we should be casting doubt. The fact that a leftist with a moderately large audience is trying to carry water for the CIA is shameful in this circumstance where the op is so obvious.
