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

I think that's a useful talking point to reach some kind of common ground with people who have faith in the capacity of the political system to produce positive outcomes, but I don't. Voting will not save us. Not voting will not save us. The Democratic Party is the left wing of capital. As a structure it is not responsive to any democratic process. It's possible that they lose in November. If the Greens or the PSL get 10% or 20% of the vote, they will not see that and think we need to seriously rethink our strategy, only those prole traitors fucked us. maybe we can send some of them to the camps to peel off more votes in the red state suburbs. Look at the UK. the liberal party has been consistently eating shit for over a decade, and it's only made them more contemptuous and hostile to social progress.
the only road forward runs through the rubble of their system. we will never win a thing by begging or yelling or holding our breath. we need to learn how to fight again.
