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

Hilariously bad strategy. Most americans dont even know there are third party options. Congrats on giving her free publicity?
Third party voters will steal the election for trump by voting their values.
Why don't you stop supporting genocide and maybe even walk back statements about how much you love fracking and hate Medicare for all?
Nooooo that would be pandering to the fringes and totally lose us like 98bajillion centrist undecided Republicans!!!??
Sounds like you don't need the leftist votes then if you're so sure your platform resonates with such a large mass of people.
Nooooooo. Third party voters will steal the election for trump by voting their values.
....
Forever until November and then start it again
The democrats can never fail, they can only be failed by voters
Not saying that bourgeois democracies are working so much better in the rest of the world, but if a candidate is so concerned about losing votes to a third candidate who couldn't win on their own, they just act like they give a shit about what the smaller candidate wants and gets endorsed/forms a coalition with the smaller one.
But no, let's keep appealing to the people who think you're not being cruel enough and who hate you for not being trump, I'm sure that's a better strategy.
Exactly. You can't have it both ways. If it's so clear that even forming a coalition with a third party and maybe conceding a few points to them would loose you this invaluable mass of voters than what the hell do you want those fringe Leftys for anyway?
Like they're more or less trying to form a coalition with centrists because they, presumably, think it's a great voting block. And yet it's leftists who aren't doing good politics.
Make your bed and fucking lie in it.
