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

The quoted portion happens at 9:40. This is from their podcast thing they do thats called even more news I think idk, it just popped up on my feed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-inXSxMvNW8

I cannot fathom rationalizing actually going and voting for the democrats.

(i heard the rules got more serious around here? Idk, I'm not gonna check what they are now because I'm sleepy but these people are famous and this is dunkable so take that)

I think Cody is generally better than most of the team and probably has more control over what comes out of his mouth for the videos. The more everyone else talks the more lib it seems to get.

I think he's been friends with many of them (especially Katie) for a long time and tolerates their lib takes because they are friends.

in my quoted title Cody is the one saying "i mean thats the deal"

Right, he doesn't expect to be listened to, he's cynical about democrats in a way Katie isn't.

Edit: I dunno maybe I'm totally off about him, it just feels like he's being jaded about them, not trying to defend Kamala. Maybe I need to kill my Showdies.

This is absolutely what it was. Katie says she feels ignored and he says "yea that's what voting for democrats is, lip service and no actual meaningful acion."

The show is deff pretty liberal bit I don't get going after the guy for saying that democrats aren't actually sincere about their stated beliefs. He wasn't saying it was a good thing.
