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 keep hearing that but I never hear what those reasons are.
And if brain melting genocide Joe is the absolute best candidate in the whole party, the party is pretty fucked, even beyond this election.
I swear Democrats are still operating on trauma from the 1968-1988 elections. They tried someone they considered slightly further left? He lost so we can't do that again. They had the sitting president drop out? His replacement lost so we can't do that again. They're so focused on that time period that they don't look at what caused their recent losses. It's not even about ideology or protecting capital or whatever, they could just swap in another ghoul. There's no good reason to keep Biden other than "we lost the last time we did it (never mind that that was 56 years ago)".
Also they use "unprecedented" as a crutch, as if unprecedented means bad. Unprecedented actions can be good strategies but they don't want to believe that.
The NYT and friends drive me crazy with this.
He's incompetent. What else do you want from the head of NATO short of active self-sabotage?
If things aren’t going well, that’s exactly when you do things differently! That’s the whole point!
Therapist: You should try this new thing
Me: Sorry that’s totally unprecedented
Therapist: Yes
