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 dunno, if I’m a rich Republican donor who’s thinking about jumping from the Trump sinking ship, this is a pretty convincing one.

Harris is pointing out Trump’s incompetency to fix the immigration issue and how she, and the Democratic Party, will be the competent party who can get it done for the Republican donor class who have lost a lot of money under Trump and made it back under Biden.

Again, they going after the Republican donors, not their voters.

If you're a rich Republican donor, you don't want them to actually strengthen barriers to migration because your firm runs on undocumented labor or undocumented workers so your landscaping and look after your kids.

You want immigration to continue to serve as red meat as the Republicans cut taxes and ease regulatory costs on your business (either by weakening them or strengthening them specifically to make it more difficult for new market entrants to get a foothold)

Yup, immigration scare mongering is what gets the hooting chuds all worked up. It's not an actual concern. Which is why Dems using it is lame.
