I'm personally all for letting people decide if they should vote, but it's entirely Biden's fault that people don't want to vote for him.

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'm not sure I had the correct read on the situation, but I felt like punishing the ungrateful working class people was why Sinema seemed so exuberant when voting against a minimum wage increase. At the time, the narrative I was getting from the liberals around me (drunk on CNN and msnbc bullshit) was that Trump was president because of a mixture of Russian intrigue and the inherent stupidity of people that are also poor. As usual, there was no class based analysis, no recognition that lots of poor people don't even vote, and definitely no distinction between rural working people and petty bourgeois tyrants using working class aesthetics. These liberals somehow came away with the idea that American politics are actually controlled by people living in collapsing trailers, so punishing them by withholding a higher minimum wage was a good thing to do.
I still remember an incident from back when I posted on an extremely lib now defunct politics message board on a gaming site a few years before I found Hexbear
There was this story about a train filled with shit from NY being sent to an Alabama town and how the residents were suffering
Over 100 bloodthirsty replies from inhuman neoliberal scum all screaming "that's what they get for voting for Trump!"
Apparently I was the only one who actually read the article beyond the title so I pointed out that the vast majority of that town were black and hadn't voted for Trump, I didn't get a single response or even any acknowledgement from those worms
That was the day I began to understand that liberals are irredeemable, I will never forget
Yeah it sucked so bad, so glad I found this place (ironically by someone posting a link to chapo.chat there)
