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

Idk like I said elsewhere something absurd like 2% of voters said that Palestine is a concern for them at all on who they're voting for. I dont have the source but I dont tihnk it bears out the idea that this will matter anywhere but Michigan specifically and there only because of the arab population. I dont think it'll matter in the other swing states. Maybe I'm my own sort of doomer and my doom is that I dont think people by and large consider Palestine something you change your voting patterns over. But I think the young people who made the difference in 2022 who were deflated by Biden were moreso defalted by his age than Palestine, and are now back on board, and care more about abortion and queer rights than Palestine. Especially abortion.
I just dont think this moves the needle.
The "uncommitted vote campaign" during the "primary" says otherwise.
Although of course you are ultimately correct, as I acknowledged before, it isn't a concern for most voters. True enough. But when the margin of victory is 40000 votes (or w/e) in 2020 and 100K people vote uncommitted indicating they won't vote unless policy changes... the math maths there unless those people were lying. We won't know that until November.
It switched at least one swing state vote: mine.
I was going to suck it up and vote for her, but her comms team had to put out this shit when they could have just said nothing. Fuck Killer KKKamala
