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

Oh what a surprise, the guy who was real concerned about the Uyghur Genocide is a transphobe. Can't believe these clowns keep rooking leftists, who should know better, into voting for them. Death to liberals

I say this as someone who knocked doors for Ralph Nader as a teenager in 2004 and got yelled at by people in a bipartisan way

Does Jill Stien hold a similar view or did she not properly vet this guy? Either way, sucdems gonna succ.

maybe a both sides type of thing? This way she gets plausible deniability while also appealing to the large transphobic voter base

They don't appear to have much more "party discipline" than the Democrats (who expect nothing of themselves, of course). They're prone to the same bs like this happening and should not be taken seriously.

I think the only hard vetting was the issue of Gaza as she said her VP was going to absolutely be pro Palestine. I don't know where Stein stands on the sports inclusion issue specifically, the party platform does not address specifically the issue of sports, but she has advocated to undo discrimatory laws against LGBTQ+ people.

I can't find a direct question to her on it. As a medical doc it would be good for her to weigh positively in. The Democrats are using this moment to smear the party as a whole at the Daily Beast, which is odd because they all know greens are more inclusive than democrats on this issue.

The @GreenPartyUS

has supported full equality for transgender persons in its party platform since 2000. #LGBTQ #WeAreGreen

Edit here is a recent. Haven't seen her address Ware's comments.

Fuck Butch Ware's transphobia and sinophobia. Who knows what other skeletons he has in his damned closet. Between this coming out and Our Revulsion trying to use Trump as a shield and vote shame me into consenting genocide and text spam basically bulsing a doxxing database on votes spamming me, it has been a very fustrating day. I am so sorry to the transgender allies and those wanting better. This shit hurts and Ware's bullshit perpetuates horrible ignorance and sterotypes.
