To a degree, I think the existence of Hexbear proves that pipelines exist.
Much of the original population of chapo/hexbear were people who were hyped for bernie 10 years ago before witnessing what electoral politics does to the left, and how even mild reforms got ratfucked. That’s why this thread exists - it’s the same visceral disgust that (I think) lead to the creation of this site.
but then again, in this thread we are still discussing the merit of electing democrats. it doesn’t seem that there was a broad shift leftward towards more radical/coherent politics.

We’re discussing the merits of whether it’s good leftism to say you’d work with Nazis too!
