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

Bowman's district was also just redistricted bringing in a ton of new wealthier, more likely to vote constituents which, just my assumption, was the actual thing that caused him to lose. AIPAC's money obviously didn't help. And it's basically no secret that they went balls to the wall on this guy who was already in a precarious primary (due to redistricting which was probably done specifically to NOT have a more left voice there ever again- Bowman or not) to flex their financial backing, get a nearly-guaranteed "win", and make everyone else think twice about even slightly standing against Israel support
