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

AOC really sacrificed her entire reputation for Biden and Kamala.

A lot of people have compared her to Nancy Pelosi and it's pretty apt. She's totally became a party woman.

What reputation? Wasn't it already sacrificed years ago?

[โ€“] sweet_pecan@hexbear.net 2 points 11 hours ago

lots of people are still crazy about her online

Some people in Leftist circles were still glazing her till last year. I'd say that most of her reputation went down the drain over the past year with her elections and Palestine stance.

The most righteous context note I've seen yet

I think the best one I ever saw just said something like "what the hell are you talking about"

She sucks but she's not wrong here actually. A lot of the Alianza rhetoric is that their opponents are MAGA Republicans. They capitalized on the Hinchcliffe scandal to get people to see the pro-statehood party as racist Trump supporters who don't care about being called a floating garbage patch.

I swear I've seen her say that basically the Pro Statehood movement is not going to deliver the Democratic Senators that the Democrats think they would as the Pro Statehood people are basically Republicans

I don't know how local Puerto Rican politics regarding statehood and independence relates to amerikkkan politics but I remember there being some fuckery almost a decade ago where some Peurto Rican republicans joined the local democratic party to sabotage the independence vote or something (may have been democrats joining the republican party, the whole thing was very confusing to me at the time)

Statehood is a non-starter. You'd need 75% of both houses in Congress and 75% of state legislatures to ratify it. I feel like independence is more politically feasible than statehood.
