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

MODERATORS
"Your voice, your perspective, your experience," replied the Vice President. She continued, "your words, your breath, your opinion." After a brief, awkward silence she went on, "Your analysis. Your education, your mind, your thoughts, your description. Your prose. Your story. Your creativity. Is it hot in here?" the Vice President asked the room.
VP Harris proceeded to drink a full water bottle without pausing and asked her aid for another. Once she had opened and drank most of the next bottle the Vice President asked, "Where was I?"
This marked the end of the VP Harris' scheduled appearance, as students began filing into the room for their regularly scheduled Political Science class.
That is truly the shape of our democracy. 
If we can light up a school we can light up the Gaza strip
Holy shit. What the FUCK
Reinterpreting her as permatripping fucking rules. I feel like I'm experiencing the Fight Club twist for the first time. Holy shit it works so well lol
I am not really joking when I say Kamala Harris has more relevance as the honorary chief of the VolCel Vanguard/Police than she does as the VP of the imperial core. 
"stop breaking my ribcage with a crowbar"
"your voice, your perspective, your experience"
bro id slap a bitch idgaf
:shoe:
At least she's still masking I guess.
A liberal ghoul wore a mask today... did you?
I was also shocked by the masking (in a good way), but of course we can't even have that silver lining--video is from September 2021.
(for the record, I did wear a mask today, although today was one of those days where I didn't see a single other soul masking)

That's such a "cop-out" I started to laugh and then I remembered she was a cop and laughed even harder. Whew.
What an imbecile. If Biden kicks the bucket the democrats are fucked if they try to run her ticket.

She better off saying "that's like your opinion, man"
It is at least more honest and cites a funny movie
weird, why are they wearing masks, I thought covid was 
It's from 2021.

Transcript of both what the student says and Kamala's full response, which starts at 17:21 in this C-SPAN video of Kamala telling GMU students to

Transcript
Student: My name is [June?], I'm part-Yemeni and part-Iranian; I'm not an American, but I do know that America affects my life every day, and it's in the way that a lot of taxpayer money is allocated for funding the military whether it's in backing Saudi Arabia, or in Palestine. And I bring this up because you brought up how the power of the people and demonstration and organizing is very valuable in America [Kamala: Yeah.]
But I see that over the summer there have been protests and demonstrations in astronomical numbers standing with Palestine, but then just a few days ago there were funds allocated to continue backing Israel which hurts my heart because it's an ethnic genocide and displacement of people the same that happened in America and I'm sure you're aware of this. And I bring this up also because of the issue of how Americans are struggling because of lack of healthcare—public healthcare—lack of affordable housing, and all this money ends up going to and funding Israel and backing Saudi Arabia and whatnot, and I think that the people have spoken very often in what they do need and I feel like there's a lack of listening and I just feel like I need to bring this up because it affects my life and people I really care about's lives, and this was just something I had to bring up.
Kamala: I'm glad you did. I'm glad you did and again: this is about the fact that your voice, your perspective, your experience, your truth, should not be suppressed, and it must be heard, alright? And one of the things that we're fighting for in a democracy, right? A democracy is at its strongest when everyone participates [June: Mmhmm] It is at its weakest when anyone's left out. And that's not only about being physically present but that your voice is present.
I mean, I'll get back to the point I was making and hinting at about—the whole point about community, right? Our goal should be unity, but not uniformity, right? When we talk about coalition building, when I think of coalition building and bringing everybody together in a unified spirit it's about—yes, everyone, we should bring people together and understand our commonalities, but unity should never be at the expense of telling any one person—for the sake of unity, "Oh, you be quiet about that thing. You suppress that thing. Let's not deal with that thing." That's not unity. True unity is that everyone in that room has a voice.
And then we see where that ends up in terms of a healthy debate on the issues, right? And the point that you're making about policy that relates to Middle East policy, foreign policy, we still have healthy debates in our country about what is the right path. And nobody's voice should be suppressed on that.
Dovetails nicely with that survey about acceptable forms of protest
Liberal identity politics is a disease. Just fucking woke-scolding and moralistic virtue signaling in the service of imperialism.
Beyond the pale. Immediate execution (hypothetically in Minecraft obvs).
She is just doing her long time role though curse her of woke cop.
God what a vile person.
Her nodding her head along
Ghoulish. Awful corporate PR behavior. Or like company HR? Same idea. Just so insulting.
Who the fuck cares about her? I hear nothing about her from everyday people. You hear a lot of shit thrown at Biden and libs still can't stop obsessing over Trump, but Kamala? Nothing good or bad. These kids probably only came so they could dunk on an imperialist stooge. I sure as hell would and then rip a wet fart.
Mmhmm. Mmhmm.
Your voice, your perspective, your experience
Ghouls gonna ghoul
imagine being in jail because she convinced a jury you did it
