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 [email protected]

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 article doesn’t even mention the strange claim AOC makes about Ohio making deadlines for the ballot before the DNC announces their nomination and how the republicans could challenge them for replacing the nominee. Odd behavior.

They changed that law but the feeling is still embedded in libs everywhere, so the talking point has done what it needed to

With a conservative governor and legislature too IIRC

That's how dead they think Biden is, they went out of their way to make sure he was the candidate

wouldn't expedited timeframe make his candidacy more likely? Now dems have two weeks to plot their plots

This spring, Ohio lawmakers changed the state's deadline to make the ballot from Aug. 7 to Sept. 1 because Democrats scheduled their convention to nominate Biden for 12 days after the initial deadline. To ensure Biden made the ballot, Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine called the GOP-controlled Legislature into a special session.

Original discourse was on him being on the ballot at all, not just the defacto candidate, and I don't think he just automatically wins as the incumbent (so someone could really push on him here)

Either way, even if he misses it the SC had that ruling that states cannot disqualify presidential candidates that might help him (unless they really wanna sow chaos over a foregone conclusion)

Oh yeah sure that's gonna be the only reason dems don't win Ohio...

Were dems gonna win Ohio anyway? It's barely competitive anymore.
