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

MODERATORS
Hasan said on the latest Patreon episode of Fear& that no one (Cenk and the family) thinks he is going to win and that the point of him running is that, if he gains any traction at all, Democrats are going to have to admit they need to replace Biden with someone else.
Lol ok sure
Hasan did call his family crazy for thinking Cenk has a shot at all lol
Yea just like if insert popular movie star here suddenly starts wanting to date me im going to tell her I need more time to focus on my personal projects
Can he even run? I thought he was born in Turkey.
He was and is not eligible under current laws (as he has been told repeatedly by state election officials). The only good thing to possibly come out of this campaign is getting that law changed, but don't hold your breath because burgerland is way too fucking racist on aggregate to possibly tackle that.
The monkey's paw curls
Say hello to the candidates for 2028:
Guialinsky 2028
Oh god, repealing that law is going to open the way for Elon Musk to run isn't it.
If that law gets repealed Elon is the republican president in 4 years.
Honestly Guaido is probably still to the left of a lot of ppl in the us lol
He'll get campaign finance reform successfully done before he gets naturalized citizen presidential candidates lol
Is this one of those greater infinities questions?
Countably infinite vs uncountably infinite, definitely. I haven't thought about set theory in ages bahahaha.
I think it's one of those things where he could run but legally he can't be president. I have no idea honestly. It was a blip in conversation about how Gruesome Gavin should run because he's hot and who the hottest president was.
his argument iirc is that that clause should be considered overturned by the 14th amendment (?) which guaranteed equal protection under the law to naturalized citizens or something.
He also cited like 4 other examples of people being elected despite having outright fake or tenuous claims to being born here
Isn't that basically why Marianne Williamson is running? She's polling way higher than Cenk ever would and the media are happy to pretend she's not running.
Imagine being such a bootlicking loser that the only reason you spend tons of money running for president is so that 'your' party maybe concedes that their candidate sucks.
And replace Biden with what, exactly? Some other hollowed out husk of a human that has 97% of the same views Biden does?
Joe Biden is a liberal, maybe THE liberal; he IS 'your team'.
There's half a dozen other candidates who would already prove that and they're all left of this dumbass.
If he somehow found a genie in abotlle and started polling above 10% he'd start telling his followers that they need to drop it get serious and start supportung Biden.
Exactly like he did on the verge of crocodile tears with Hillary in 2016.
