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 statement continues in a tweet thread

Absolutely pathetic. My pessimism is spiking to C. Derek Varn levels. These motherfuckers have given you NOTHING. They are jingling car keys in front of your face and you are cooing like an infant. How are you not only going to endorse, but TAKE CREDIT for the selection of this guy with absolutely no promises or concessions. This man will be the Vice President, and by your own admission, the blood will be on your hands.

If Tim Walz and or Kamala Harris do not explicitly call for a full ceasefire and complete end to all military funding of Israel, then literally anything else they say are just meaningless platitudes. If they care about Palestinians then they need to stop the genocide. That's it. Full stop.

Few days ago they forced the international comitte to remove a post denouncing the assasination of the hamas leader, the NPC is controlled opposition at this point

to then do a victory lap about palestinian liberation because of a milquetoast, surely-zionist vp pick by a bourgeois party is so fucking cynical what absolute ghouls

DSA stands for didn't socialise anything

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

That's can't be true, the DSA clearly Doesn't Stand for Anything

Dang I didn't know Copmala had "workers own the factories and collectively decide how to use the surplus value of their labor" in her platform.

Apparently the DSA has forgotten what the S stands for, and what that word actually means. This is America's most prominent left-of-center org posting on main, "socialism is when the government does stuff, and the more stuff it does the more socialist it is"

The VP might be a guy who decided that poor children should not starve. Finally, some real socialism.

A lib picking a lib isn't "pushing them left" lmao

in b4 nothing happens

[–] Rojo27@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

I'm not seeing how they are making the connection between Walz being chosen as VP and change happening. And then the weird jump to talking about how members are organizing to support Palestinian liberation. Such a weird tweet.

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

This is even worse than the usual lib ”DoN't LeT PeRfEcT Be ThE EnEmY Of GoOd” response.

[–] BlueMagaChud@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago

just keep posting that picture of Walz smiling next to Ben from Philly

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago

What the fuck are they talking about?

Look at my "socialists" man. Not even trying to use the little leverage they have to apply further pressure on the shit-eating grin ghouls who have been allowing Israel to turn children into viscera for the past 10 months.
