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

The Ross Perot bit is interesting if you look at it in the long term context, like, does Trump still happen without the precedent that the base will defect to third party if they don't get their way? Or does the establishment ratfuck him and tell them "vote red no matter who?"
I think we’re gonna see a lot more articles like this, moreso than in 2020. They’re not directed at us commies - we’re too small in number and they know we’re not voting for Biden no matter what. I don’t think they’re even directed at your typical white DSA-adjacent radlibs - the DNC knows they will fall in line by November.
I do think that the Dems are scared shitless about POC votes - black and Arab-American voters in particular. Recent polls have shown Biden’s support among those groups is dropping precipitously; and not just in terms of general approval/disapproval numbers. The numbers of Dem-leaning POC voters that are considering not voting or voting third party have gone way up since Oct. 7.
And a conservative who stays home on Election Day is voting for Joe Biden.
Incoherent.
