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

Democrats are getting desperate. Even the most casual DSA leftists have stopped trusting every word out of Bernie's mouth for at least a year now.

Does he even use the word "genocide"? As soon as he used the worn down harm reduction argument, I tuned out.

[–] mathemachristian@hexbear.net 15 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Did he actually say harm reduction?? That would be amazing, like he is admitting that they are doing harm and won't stop.

Like their campaign promise officially is "we aren't as harmful".

I had to turn it off at about 1:10, the bot below has a safer link.

He basically says yeah it's bad, but Trump and friends are worse. flattened-bernie

Oh I'm not watching that, thanks though 👍

seriously though there is spineless and then there's spineless while maintaining the illusion of walking upright.

[–] PurrLure@hexbear.net 11 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Omg I made the mistake of watching further. He says that if Trump wins "the struggle with climate change is over" LIKE KAMALA ISN'T PRO FRACKING AND PRO INFINITE ECONOMIC GROWTH YOU FUCKING HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK shoulder-grab

Yeah no this video is ragebait for leftists and a circlejerk for libs. Do not recommend. They're out of touch if they really thought this would get them new voters.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

btw that link had a tracking info in it so it will get nuked by the mods. The link is https://yewtu.be/watch?v=Vf5MThSniiY&t=74

The &si=... needs to be taken out just fyi

morshupls He has never used the word genocide, except to dismiss the charge of it as it would incrimate the entire US government. Yet is careful to not mention that fact, except he does admit it is wholly complicit in what's going on there.
