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

dude is a life long democrat according to his website.

e. in hindsight i feel like this is punching down, and i don't like it - i just don't know where to post it

edit. i need to specify this is the party of democrats who are the uncommitted, and believe the democrat party is the best avenue for helping the palestinians by push harris to embargo and ceasefire

using our pain in an ongoing voter suppression campaign

fuck this framing so hard, you can't even "raise awareness" now because it's voter suppression

“Save the soul of our party”? Ok good, don’t speak. That’s absolute comprador horseshit

I get why people are mad on an optic level, but this would be another step in the appropriation of the struggle into the party

[–] newmou@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago

Absolutely, that is so accurate

If my middle initials were "CP", I would not be going around trying to kick the twitter beehive.

If my middle initials were “CP”

Maybe I'm missing an obvious joke, but who actually has those initials here?

The person in the linked tweet

I hope they lose, red MAGA is enough. We don't need blue MAGA too.
