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.

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

Gotta say. I'm looking at Michigan and seeing him down 1.8% to Trump and all I can think is "Where could you find 1.8% of the vote in Michigan, I wonder?" Ah well. Only real solution is be more bipartisan with Fascists, I guess.

"And I do narrowly agree that it would be helpful if people who care deeply about the climate and Palestine would stop criticizing the candidate who is better on their issues and instead criticize his opponent. But there’s very little evidence that “people who would prefer it if Joe Biden were more left-wing” is a large block of people or that defections from this group are a serious problem."

From the article itself lol.

"most likely, I think, a communications strategy that involves a stronger presence of Joe Biden and other members of his administration in the media, delivering messages precision-targeted at crossover voters."

Going after those Trump voters my God this is what radicalized me. Trying the same stupid strategy decade after decade and consistently eating shit.

51% of 2020 Biden voters think Biden is committing genocide. These people are fucking delusional, and it's their fault we're gonna get another Trump term.

The problem with going after those voters isn't that you can't sway them, clearly you can, the problem is that anything and anyone can sway them at any time for any random reason because people who switch between Trump and Biden are complete morons who do not operate on normal people calculus.
