I'm sure I can find the answers to these questions in google individually, but other people in the fediverse might benefit from having these questions answered as well.
Why is Trump a "Wet Boy"?
Why is a defecating pig a "PBB"?
Why do you, a chapotraphouse discussion forum, only discuss something called "citations needed" instead of the chapo podcast?
How is El Chapo's trap house in any way related to leftism?
Why are your emojis so big?
What's the limit for your big tent left? Maoists? Trotskyites? Demsocs? Socdems? TERF socialists? Progressive Democrats? Monarchist socialists?
To widen the topic of the post, feel free to post any other questions regarding Hexbear as well.
The tent is very wide, as long as they know how to behave. No bigotry of course, but if a socdem or a "progressive" showed up we would probably keep it as a pet.
No one likes to admit it, but I would dare say a large chunk of this site were once Bernie fans and went left after he ran and got derailed by the Dems. So, socdems aren't treated too terribly (assuming they're willing to listen) I think in part because a lot of us remember when we were at that stage. Also, it's also always good to jump on an opportunity to push someone left.
Ron Paul to Obama to Bernie to Lenin pipeline is real. Thank you for acknowledging it.
The Ron Paul genesis is real
I admitted it the moment I got here maybe that was a mistake lol
I think you're right but people don't seem to have a problem admitting they're relatively recent converts. There was a busy post in the news mega that included people they were basically socdems without a serious criticism of NATO as recently as the start of the Ukraine war.
But there's also plenty of us old heads too, for whom the likes of Bernie or Corbyn or other demsoc projects were milquetoast compromises that were worthy of some support because they could have moved the needle left just enough to make a meaningful impact to people's lives, whose leftism goes way way back.
