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

Did Bernie fall out a window, hit his head and now thinks it's 2016 like what happened to Frank in that It's Always Sunny Episode? You don't get to talk like that anymore, bud. The jig is up and have been for the last 4 years. To quote someone closer politically to Bernie than Bernie is to me at this point "Fool me once, shame on you...fool me...you can't get fooled again."

Bernie, just retire. I wanna keep myself from wishing you dead

What the fuck does he think he's accomplishing at this point

[–] TheVelvetGentleman@hexbear.net 1 points 7 months ago

Don't you get it? They're serious this time! They're really gonna do it this time!

Maybe he's just venting. He tried to be pragmatic AGAIN, stumping for dems to prevent Trump getting back in office, and it backfired spectacularly. It's his final "fuck you, told you so".

[–] Yukiko@hexbear.net 1 points 7 months ago

Might be the case since he's almost certainly at the start of his final Senatorial stint.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 1 points 7 months ago

Lol, lmao even. My YouTube homepage showed me this.

Then why THE FUCK DID YOU CAMPAIGN FOR THEM DUMB SHIT

This better be every single reply to that post

To vaccum leftist energy into the party to be snuffed out.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 7 months ago

To give him the benefit of the doubt he maybe decided not to publicly criticize them to "beat trump" dumb but not as blatantly corrupt as him saying this opportunistically. Not sure if we should give him that benefit though? I learn probably not.

Bernie bein his piece of shit self as usual

And where did that bring you? back-to-me

In the letter he attached, he concluded with something vague that I think could be hinting at announcing a new third party or him moving to an existing third party. I like that Jason Hickel and Shaun have pointed out this could be the moment to start the difficult fight of replacing dems with a different party, and tbh demsocs might be the ones to do it. I'm obviously not a fan of demsoc-rose over PSL, but if the party is (more) resilient to capitalist interests (and the FBI doesn't stop him) then it could lead to meaningful socialist policy changes.

Well well well old man, look who comes crawling back to us.

He's not crawling back to us, he's rounding up the sheep that have strayed too far from the democratic party
