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

Do you really think so? Upon absolutely zero inspection I have thought that she was going to run away with the election vs. an old, dried-out, death-fearing Trump
It's like jumping into a marathon fresh at mile 25 and then rolling your ankle every 100 feet.
Honest question, how much do you think her performance will be affected by who she is and what she says? Vs just not being Trump and being a Democrat.
Again I really haven't paid much attention at all to this election cycle, but in my everyday life it seems that people are far more up front and proud to vote for her than people were for Joe four years ago.
@Nakoichi@hexbear.net interested in your opinion as well
She's also not embracing Lina Khan, which is not great optics.
Based on vibes alone I think she's got a good shot of winning. Hope she doesn't, but the Democrats are banking on their base being so racist that they don't give a shit about the fact that their heroes are mass-murderers. My experience with white liberal Americans during the War on Terror years has me absolutely convinced that the Democrats are betting correctly. Turnout will, if anything, be more helped than hurt by the Democrats going dull Nazi because crackers derive intense sexual satisfaction from looking at the mangled bodies of dead brown people.
2016 might answer your question
Hahaha true. I do think Trump's age and the fact that he is a known quantity are both working against him this time though.
he's also just less funny. He leaned more to the "my crowd sizes~!" part of his schtick and away from the "Ted Cruz' Dad killed JFK" part. though "DEYRE EATING DA DOGS" was pretty funny. but the consequences of it were less so.
Umm, excuse you, she’s talking.
Clinton and Biden both polled better than she is polling now
Yes I do
