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

hey so does that candidate you're boosting have that in their platform or nah?
Harris dropped it to appeal to Republicans lol. Same with Harris saying that immigrants are bringing drugs and crime during the presidential debate. She was basically quoting Trump's infamous 2016 speech on immigrants that ignited his presidential run during the debate to try own Trump. Absolutely bizzare behaviour.
the most coherent thing i've heard (somewhere on here but i don't recall who) is that democrats treat every lead in polls as an excuse to pivot right, they want to win as narrowly as possible to govern as ineffectually or right-wing as practicable, while holding their own electorate hostage.
Libs are the 'take me hostage daddy' sort though; they hardly seem fazed being pulled rightward. At this rate, the DNC may just research how to stop Donald's aging so they can ride this gravy train as far right as it'll go.
I believe the kink term for this is "topping from the bottom" which is generally considered toxic behavior as it usually is not something that was negotiated or agreed upon
