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

its potential is quite untapped to many hexbears here, like right now the marxist group is kicking out the social democrat leadership
Didn’t the post you’re replying to make the point that if that group obtained leadership and exercised power, it would split?
I meant more, if it clarified its direction and goal, it would split because it's big enough and does enough different things (or is a vehicle for people to do different things) that people join it for all types of reasons whether that be tenant organizing or electing progressive democrats, so people would probably leave if the org stopped facilitating one or the other
Still true that it has a lot of potential
it really doesn't have the centralization to do anything about that anyway. Its either the marxists taking over or the collaborators
You probably know more than I do, and I’d always prefer the Marxists lmao
nah dsa infighting is fuckin weird
like stalinists and trots are just two of the several factions that somehow don't explode next to each other
I'm aware, it's something to look forward to but it's bound to result in a lot of soft leftists leaving because it won't be a democrat electing machine
The DSA has set back progress for a generation acting like an arm of the DNC. It took the Bernie energy and squandered it, leaving actual leftist parties to starve and rot.
working as intended.
