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

Honestly, good. The fact that elected officials can exist in the world without any consequences for their actions is one of the most frustrating parts of our society. Sorry AOC, no movie for you while you support genocide

I'm definitely not defending her, but she's doing this to avoid getting primaried again. Amerika has a billion little ways to maintain control of things.

(Edit: I'm not saying that avoiding a primary is worth it to ignore mass murder)

this only makes her chances worse

I could see it either way, I just don't know the demographics of her district. I know a neighboring district has various degrees of anti-hamas posters on every telephone pole, not that some organized poster spamming should be presumed a fair representation of the constituents.

And those people would already never, ever vote for her. All this achieves is alienating the diverse, progressive base that brought her to power.
