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

What’s this theory? I think the system is transforming people like AOC because they probably realize you can’t get shit done when you’re outnumbered by hundreds. It’s not her fault change can’t come from within. But this doesn’t excuse her or anyone of condemning a genocide.
I don't remember a whole lot of specifics but I read an article someone posted on here looking into AOC's career at Boston University (she interned for Ted Kennedy) and noting that her career as a bartender wasn't particularly long. I think it's mostly speculation but the idea that she picked up some establishment connections during her internship doesn't seem very outre.
I feel like more people should run on platforms that basically say "I can't promise I'll get what we want done, but I'll fuck their shit up any way I can and be your eyes and ears in that cesspit. There will be no second term anyway".
