Gotta love how they managed to create a term to delegitimize popular policy and now basically throw it at anything that wasn't devised by ivy league ghouls

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

MODERATORS
the OG populists were pretty good for crackers. proto-socialist farmers that started a little bit of shit before marx really got going.
I’m not voting for either of these assholes. The message is pretty damn clear, if the dems want to win so badly give people something to vote for. I hate this goddamn country.
Yup my baseline for voting for somebody is "won't continue to do a genocide"
If that is an unreasonable expectation that's the dems problem not mine.
nobody should be pro-trump but it is very much not clear who the lesser evil is.
war
border fascism
covid
genocide
and on and on
If trump were president we'd be doing the exact same thing as far as supporting Isreal but every single lib would have the Palestinian flag in their profile as a reflexive action instead of lecturing people about how what Isreal is doing isn't technically a genocide because they're accidently killing 80% civilians.
yup.
I'm seeing more and more voices who just fucking LOVE genocide and can't WAIT to see how many more genocides Biden does. I'm hearing rumors that he's already got 2 more planned for his next term, so be sure and turn out the 
for GenoBiden
I'm an antiestablishment crank
Wow, thanks for Trump!
Beyond the inherent danger in this strategy, it's also deeply flawed.
motherfucker writes like chatgpt training data
It kind of makes sense now, I had the causation backwards. It's not that people write like chatgpt, it's that so much of the web's content was written this way when chatgpt was trained.
Let's be fair to the blue check, he might just be using chatgpt to draft his tweets.
I'm more of a jank populist. Dems are allergic to doing any popular policy? So are they crank unpopulists?
ah, the old "actually not voting is voting" thing this is fun to do this all over again
This is just unncessarily verbose horseshoe theory because the underlying critcism is that everybody against the status quo is basically the same

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The majority not voting in 2024 aren't going to say shit on social media and continue on with their lives, but the left will get all the blame.
I dont even care if you vote for Biden anymore. The whole things fake

Literally a meme
Stancil joined Twitter in June of 2009, an early user. Throughout the 2010s and 2020s, he posted frequently about policy topics. In the fall of 2023, as the vibescession discourse took off, Stancil became involved in an increasingly intricate series of beefs. It started with him espousing the vibecession, amid pushback from leftists who believed that he was endorsing the status quo. The dispute then escalated into high profile confrontations with presidential candidate Marianne Williamson (seen below left) and pundit Nate Silver (seen below right). In particular, Stancil's dispute with Silver attracted attention and headlines, including retweets from figures like New York Times columnist Ross Douthat.
vibescession
Is that a word privileged lanyard types use to claim that the economy is actually great, the poors are just dumb and whiny?
Yes. It's the "Aktuly Big Number Go Up, but Trump is winning because the vibes are literally just off".
Just doing the standard neoliberal gaslighting while poverty climbs and the wealth disparity grows ever wider.
I don’t not believe the tweet, Trump being the president made libs be more active and question some stuff, but it’s wrong it the sense that I’m not going to personally vote for Trump, I’ve just accepted that he’s most likely going to be the next president. It’s not my fault, I just asked the Dems to not do genocide.
