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
There's nothing they hate so much as fucking peasants having the nerve to think we can and should exert political pressure on the political class.
The idea that we think we might have a role in politics beyond casting a vote is such an anathema to them that many can't even conceive of it as a possibility (so they treat is as apathy; we don't care and would let Trump win) or they can conceive of it and seeing us try gives them cognitive dissonance which makes them hate us.
Either way they will hate us for being principled activists. There's no other way for them to see us.
IS this pressure on the DNC? They seem to enjoy being the minority party because it gives them something to do which doesn't involve actually creating policy.
