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

I know we bang on and on about how 2016 never ended but this is literally the exact same mistake they made in 2016.

They insisted any polling that showed it was a close race was bullshit, had 5000 word reddit comments saved about how polling favors older more conservative people, and kept reassuring each other this shit was locked up.

Riiiiiigggghhhhtt until they lost to trump.

It really is wild how much liberals love enthusiastically jumping on the exact same take in the exact same way over and over again.

polling favors older more conservative people

If we accept this as true wouldn't that be even more damning since young people are by and large opposed to the genocide?? Like, if it's polling older people Biden should have an enormous advantage but even here he's getting rinsed

Well you have to consider that liberals think their position of "those spoiled brats should stfu because they're making Biden look bad" is the farthest left position possible. Because they hold it and they're committed Progressives^Tm^

I don't understand how they don't put together "young people don't vote" and "polling skews old and conservative".
