the_dunk_tank
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

Someone who's this ideologically committed to the Democratic party is not worth your time and energy. They don't realize that the Democrats are a slow slide into fascism instead of a fast plunge, because they probably stand to benefit either through a certain flavor of capital gains or through being a part of a political machine.
Psychologically, the more hostile the debate gets,the more likely they are to double down.
Talking to these "true believers" feels like talking to cult members these days. I hate their smug insistence on being "right" about everything.
I think a big part of this cultish behavior stems from a difference in how we look at elections. To us electoralism is a tool that's one part of many possible tools we use to build revolution. For them elections are part of their identity. This is team sports without the balls :/
