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

Good.

If your "leftism" is being destroyed by the fact that trans people and tankies exist then it needs to die.

One of the most cynical people I have witnessed, simultaneously issuing nakedly insincere half-apologies about how its wrong to be mean(transphobic) to people just because of online beef, while also openly liking tweets that are just people posting "I love transphobia and Brianna Wu! She's epic based and said nothing wrong!" as if she's pretending to be unaware that people can just see what she likes on twitter.

Offering a shit sandwich apology then spitting in it right in front of everyone for good measure, just to add insult.

With that in mind it's really no wonder why she was the ideal Dem candidate

Autism compels me to encourage accuracy here, she was an outsider candidate that didnt even make the Ballot: https://ballotpedia.org/Brianna_Wu (running against the worst Massachusets represnative as well, and positioning herself as a progressive alternative)

Her profile says "former candidate" so I dont think she's running again, and Stephen Lynch hasn't retired or anything.
