"why won't they vote for us? we keep insulting them, acting against their best interests, and most importantly we aren't republicans."

This "Lesser Evilsm^tm^" has always been the main Democrat appeal. But it has been amazing once Trump became the Republican nominee in 2016, how thoroughly the Democrats embrace the belief "we are the party without Trump, how dare you ask for, or have any standards, other than that"

Yeah, it used to be the main appeal, then it was the only appeal. Now its just brump all the way down

"Vote if you want your rights!"

Okay, I'm voting for the American Commonwealth Liberation Party.

"NOOO! That's a vote for Trump!"

Right up there with "vote for your preferred candidate in the primaries but if they don't win you have to support rhe dem candidate"

cancels the primaries AGAIN

Listen, Shadow Inc said I need to support Pete Buttigieg so why are you yelling at me for writing in Mayo Rat?

I thought you didn't want Trump to win.

"I can't believe our strategy of repeatedly and explicitly saying we don't care about their concerns and won't modify our platform because of them isn't working"

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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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
