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

An anarchist that participates in bourgeoisie liberal democracy? What kind of anarchist is that? One of the core principles of anarchism is the rejection of liberal democracy. Have they actually read any anarchist theory? Why do they think the black bloc participates in riots and direct action after every presidential election in the USA?

And they participate in liberal democracy to vote democrat to protect trans rights. When pressed with evidence of denocrats vetoing a pro trans bill, they proceeded to defend that action by the democrats. I honestly can't imagine having that little of a backbone.
I don't think local voting is bad, but relying on electoralism is the main problem...
anarcho-bidenists are real
i don't know much about this, and maybe none of the examples are anarchists, but isn't there a history of revolutionaries participating in the electoral process before revolutions?
There is a history of that, but not by anarchists.
