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

She obviously got ratio’d including by Jill Stein herself.

Well @AOC, you supporting genocide was NOT on my bingo card, but the Democrats have a way of changing people who say they're going to "change the party from the inside".

What's the value of Democrats winning if you won’t fight for raising the minimum wage, Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, or any other policy you took from the Greens, and instead end up supporting fracking, caging kids, and genocide? Maybe it's time to watch these parties die.

Turns out, she is leading among Muslim voters in several key swing states which might be worrying some DNC officials. But rather than changing their stance, they send their “progressive” attack dog.

AOC’s brain must have melted since there is enough space for Jill Stein to live rent free in her skull.

Also inb4 Jill Stein is a grifter. Yeah let’s pretend that AOC didn’t pull the biggest grift bangers such as the border photo ops and getting endorsements from the DSA

It's like Get Out, a senior DNC official put their brain in her body and the veil is slipping more and more each day

Always On Camera can't help herself

Imagine what she could do if she actually kept that energy directed at her own party's nominee

I can't claim credit, someone here used that one some time back, but I do love it

No original ideas

Shes punching down and its not a good look.

I was listening to a podcast she was on a couple weeks ago and tbh it looks like shes gone all in on the "obama/pod save" flavor of managerial liberalism where the focus is purely on refining the existing political structures to be more "efficient" or whatever corporate jargon.

You almost have to wonder if she's doing this to distract people from the PSL

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago

Or maybe is just using Stein as a stand-in for any third party opposition

Why the fuck is AOC rage-tweeting at Jill Stein like she’s Elon Musk?

AOC for US Senate 2028?

Dude, they both suck. It’s truly so fucked that Jill Stein is the alternative

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

What's the deal with Stein? I periodically see that she sucks or is a grifter, but usually it's a dem who is pissed she might "split the vote."

From what I've seen of her platform she actually has many concrete, progressive goals with pretty specific carve outs for of various largely overlooked groups of people. It's not like she's explicitly for landback or dissolving Israel and the US, but definitely leagues better (on paper) than the dems.

All that being said, I'm voting for Claudia and Karina for an explicitly socialist platform. Ngl though, I wish the PSL vote socialist website had a long list of concrete points like the Stein website does.

Because she's an enormous fucking loser and a political stooge for the capitalist class like all politicians not accountably tied to a grass roots organization
