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

It's an article literally saying that "leftists can push Biden to the left" while pointing to these accomplishments as proof:

[Biden's administration] embraced massive government intervention to stave off the worst economic impacts, including handing millions of families monthly checks (by expanding the child tax credit), giving all kids in public schools free meals, boosting unemployment insurance and extending health coverage to millions.

All of those policies were temporary and have now expired. Truly the most progressive president since LBJ.

Imagine framing Biden's efforts on student loans as 'aggressive'. Aggressive like a toothless dog chewing on a shoe.

Obama's first term was disappointing. His second term was abhorrent.

Crazy how term limits change a politician's incentives to behave.

I’ve been in and around politics for many years, and even among liberals, I’ve almost always been one of the most liberal people in the room.

Lmao fuckin loser

Hell of a fucking statement right here:

What about everything supporters of Bernie Sanders have found so thrilling about the Vermont senator’s vision of the future, from universal health care to free college? It’s true Biden was never going to deliver that, but to be honest, neither would Sanders had he been elected president.

Motherfucker, then why bother? If nothing ever gets delivered then why should I give a fuck? What's the point?

I won't vote for the Republican oppositon but I actively hope Biden loses.

work their hearts out

not sure I've ever seen this specific phrase before, seems almost like a threat

sure there's 'bleeding hearts' and 'wearing your heart on your sleeve' and 'knock your socks off' and 'work your ass off'

but 'work your hearts out' like wtf

Leftists should eat their ass out for Biden in 2024
