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

Agreed. People are starving for a normal candidate, and Kamala strikes me as only being abnormal in how much of an absolute normie she is. She has almost no baggage at all, she has experience as a prosecutor (which should speak to her ability to communicate) and landed some pretty good body shots on Biden in the 2020 primary debates, and she has almost none of the problems that Trump and Biden shared (brain-addled golf-obsessed septuagenarians), and she can lay claim to Biden's W's and have plausible deniability for his L's. Kamala has previously come across as a little too scripted, and that's born out in other reports about her being something of an overbearing perfectionist, but I think that's nothing that the DNC war machine can't polish up. I think Kamala's got a real shot here.
Honestly, I’m kind of appreciating the normie perspective you’re bringing here with this comment. While I disagree with the “no baggage” statement, I don’t think her baggage will harm her with the broader fascist American public. The only people who will really care about all of the horrible things she did as DA/AG are those of us already on the left.
That's exactly what I meant when I said almost no baggage. The average canter/auth voter in the US couldn't give two shits about Kamala being an over-aggressive DA. A lot of them probably appreciate it, even. Being more libertarian minded, it bothers me, but not remotely as much as Project 2025 does.
lol. lmao
Well, which is it? She either persuaded lots of juries to lock up all kinds of people (she did) or she sucks at communicating, I find it hard to imagine how both could be true. At any rate, she'll communicate better than Biden, who famously said [unintelligible]
This wasnt a PPB situation at all lol. Clear example of some of us being too trigger happy with that.
Maybe Kamala's style doesnt work with you but I think she does have an ability to communicate and I dont think random lemm.ee person is wrong here.
if you really think her time as prosecutor is good evidence of her persuasion abilities I don't know what to tell you
A person can be wrong without it being PPB territory tbh. I stand by thinking that person was being entirely normal and not worth that kind of reaction.
biden's actually a silent gen octogenarian lol
