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

I really don’t want Trump to win again, but it would be the best thing for the Democratic Party to lose again after tacking right.

This is what I keep coming back to, is "Would we be in this position if they had been disciplined in 2016 or 2020"

The party doesn't learn anything. Ever.

Agreed. Not an accelerationist but my take on it now is that whatever accelerates the internal destruction of the imperial cores is generally the opposite of acceleration- if anything, progressive development, in the broader global context- just like how Nazi Germany and any other such regime should have fallen sooner than later. With industrial genocide ongoing in front of the entire world's eyes, with the west marching towards WW3 on multiple fronts- this is just how it is.

If anything, Klanmala is probably the actual accelerationist (WW3) candidate anyways, and just as genocidal and fascist.
