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

Also, there need to be like 3 or 4 Palestinian flags on the GOP side because Trump would allow Netanyahu to brutalize Gaza pretty much without limit.

Unlike Biden, who is currently wagging his finger very hard at Netanyahu.

Yeah Biden is at least withholding certain weapons, pushing for aid, and pressuring for a ceasefire.

What weapons, and does that even matter? Pretty sure Israel is killing civilians no problem right now without whatever Wunderwaffen you're talking about.

Trump would

My least favorite grammatical construction.

Apparently the hypothetical evil Trump would commit gives Biden the defacto right to do the exact same thing

These idiots don't grasp that Trump potentially doing it DOES NOT excuse Biden actually doing it. He can just stop.

You gave me a posting idea. - https://hexbear.net/post/2724175

Agreed. I'm not going to make decisions based on what someone thinks someone else might do. I'm going to make decisions based on what I'm seeing actually transpire, with video and testimonial evidence.

It makes me sick to my stomach and fills me with rage that the liberal (and neoliberal) go-to comment about a continuing genocide is the insane argument: "You made a mistake. You forgot to consider that the other guy would be worse."

It's nothing but slippery slopes lined with strawmen for them.

Straw should make it less slippery :/
