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
I feel theres a certain bloc of leftists who, post-bernie, have been ingesting vast amounts of copium to support dems. instead of taking the difficult route of organizing locally and starting from scratch, these guys decided to call it a day and support Kamala. So lame and sad.
At that point they aren't leftists though, if they ever were to begin with. I get the feeling that a lot of these people go one of three routes:
Rad libs.
I used to have a friend who ran for office in 2018 that supported Bernie that fit this mold to a T. He ended up supporting Biden and getting involved in the young dems and has otherwise reverted to being a lib. Hes also one of those super political types that gets a hard on at the idea of running for president some day so i can only imagine how sociopathic this guy really was. Truth be told, I used to be more involved in electoral politics and was super involved in the Bernie campaign but these types really ruined it for me.
Dont underestimate the dems ability to fuck things up. I think 2016 was a major disillusionment point and I feel that 2024 will be as well. Even if kamala wins, all these "progressive" libs are gonna be disappointed when shes just Trump lite like Biden.
