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

The thing any sort of discussion of econometrics and their relationship to politics never even considers are people's expectations. Like maybe Brandon and the dems should consider the fact he was promising everyone significant change. Like maybe if you promise people you are going to change things and then don't people might be mad about that regardless of the data. I was promised student loan relief, I don't give a shit that inflation came down, I didn't get my money you fucker.
He promised the exact opposite: "Nothing will fundamentally change." Verbatim quote.
That was early on, later he promised a bunch of shit.
He literally promised to give people a check, he mentioned the exact amount. And then he didn't.
He also promised to cure cancer btw.
