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

Now that's a well reasoned take. I actually agree with everything you said.
It's amazing what you can learn when you don't walk in here flinging shit. We're actually pretty cool and more than happy to explain our position.
o7 for humility and being open to information that contradicts your pre conceived notions.
Oh I know all about all of those things, and they're valid things, everyone just seems to forget that this all started because Biden decided to take action to begin with. All the criticism is valid, I see no reason to omit any facts.
The administration chose the easy way first. (I don't see why they wouldn't have to be honest.) They have totally dropped the ball on keeping it a priority.
And if you read my comment, there's no opinions in it. Just a question sandwiched between two facts.
See, there's where we differ. You think they chose the "easy" option. This seems to imply some kind of desire to actually accomplish what they set out to do. We think they chose the option they knew would fail so they would have an excuse for not doing anything, which is what they wanted all along. The Democrats have a long history of weaseling their way out of anything remotely progressive. They're goddamn experts at using the system to accomplish nothing, only to then fundraise on it forever.
This one will join the dustbin of dead leftish policies, like a "Public Option," Increased minimum wage, and codifying Roe v Wade.
