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

"Then we high fived" is the new "and then everyone clapped"

The size of the country has nothing to do with how many parties we should have. One political party would be fine or a dozen. It comes down to whether you have a dictatorship of the bourgeois or a dictatorship of the proletariat, but I'm speaking to the choir here.

I've said it before, but Yang strikes me as an op as much as a grift. His campaign was targeting teenage kids too young to vote with silly stuff like Yamg Bucks while saying M4A is bad actually. Seems like it was set up to lure younger people away from the Sanders campaign and socialism more generally. And I'd be suprised if Forward isn't more of the same

It's 100% an op.

the Forward Party merged with—and thus took a great deal of money and personnel from—the Serve America Movement, which is majority funded by former vice chairman of Philip Morris Charles W. Wall. If anyone thinks a tobacco executive with a history of lying to the public about the health effects of cigarettes

From an Adam Johnson article about it, which also points out that Yang is super unwilling to name the donors to the party

Charles W. Wall

Let's hope he lives up to his name eventually

He may be an op, but he's probably drunk his own koolaid. Lots of people honestly believe dumb shit and some of them have FBI funding.

FBI is to leftists what Russia is to libs and what China is to chuds

except we're usually correct about it

Of all the things that never happened last night, this never happened the most.

Extremely big "You know it's real when you get talked about at the barbershop!" energy.

Hey kids, we accept that new PayPal thing for donations! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

This spurred me to a line of thinking that lead to "these idiots would accept Crypto donations"

And of course they do lmao
