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

New York dems really might be the worst in the country.
In large parts of the state everybofy just votes for dems so everybody just runs as a Democrat even if they're a boilerplate republican.
And then they proceed to begrudgingly eventually do the worst possible version of anything as slowly as possible.
Not that weed legalisation is that important of an issue but new york "legalizing" recreational pot and now 4 full years later there still aren't any stores that can legally sell it practically anywhere outside a major city is a perfect metaphor.
People are just saying fuck it and selling it out of roadside stands and largely not being harassed because "we got sick of waiting for the fucking politicians to do literally anything right" is a reasonable argument.
The fucking governor almost lost to a long island dipshit chud because of how universally the democratic leadership in this state sucks rotten possum asshole.
