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
Chapo had a guy on semi-recently who advanced a pretty compelling narrative, not that she was an op, but that she was just never as progressive as her support base wanted her to be. Same thing basically happened with Bernie, everyone who is even just center-left really wants someone to glom onto and these are the best options the system is capable of spitting out.
She fired her activist chief of staff who fought for her during the election, and replaced him with a former Kamala Harris’s foreign policy aide.
She could deny all she wants, but her initial electoral success was built on a progressive base who volunteered and staffed her campaign office.
Yup. 100% pure ghoul origin arc.
I think this is a pretty sane read on it. People love projecting their hopes on the young, new upstart (see: Obama) and it makes them feel like there's some momentum, and maybe some room to get them to back more progressive stuff.
Any "progressive" democrat that retains their seat after one election is sus to me, because we have seen how the DNC destroys all things leftist.
I think you're referring to Ryan Grim and his book 'The Squad'
Idk wearing an “eat the rich” dress, openly id’ing as a socialist, the chief of staff issue mentioned below, feels demonstrably more left-signaling than the Biden term
not completely disagreeing but it was "tax the rich" lol
Oh wow lmao, that was it? Jesus Christ that was a week of news and discourse
