Plus (AFAIK) because of the shitty electoral system in the US, it's really hard to even get on the ballots. So it's not even like people who want actual change can vote somebody like West or PSL (Forgot the name of their candidate) because in half of the states they're not even on the ballot. Fucking great

Etit: hope not to start a struggle session, but is cornel west a good candidate? He seemed miles above recent mainstream US politicians to me (keep in mind I'm not Amerikkkan, fortunately)

He's not a good candidate but he is better than the others.

An average rock have better political stance than mainstream US candidates.

i'm not american either, but IIRC he has better stances on a lot of stuff than almost any other candidate, but also seems to support some patsocs or something like that? something fash adjacent.

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
