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

The poster themselves admitted to making up the number of city council members

Do you mean me? I have no clue what you're talking about. If I got something important wrong, I can edit or delete the post

No you're right I misread when you said there was only one dissenting vote, I thought it said there was only one member of DSA that was the only dissenting vote, which looked to me like you said something outrageous, then walked it back in the comments.

In other words, I'm sorry. You were right, but I'm still agitated by a lot of the comments in this post thread. Not that I think it should be removed, I guess I think its unfortunate how many people would just write off someone who should be a comrade, just because they belong to an organization they know very little about.

But I genuinely agree, DSA electeds not giving full throated support for Palestinian liberation at every opportunity is a dereliction socialist principles. It'll be interesting to see how ChiDSA will respond
