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

I can understand the hogs loving Trump, but what's with these ghouls falling in line with Biden? He's like the worst. He has no charisma, is an ardent agent of empire, and policy wise, is just the same as Trump.
What's funny about all this is that Blue MAGA is more annoying that MAGA.
Paid
They get some form of financial compensation
There is literally not one, NOT ONE, single organic diehard supporter on the internet. Maybe in some hospice care place there's a 95 year old with a morphine drip mere hours from passing who thinks Biden is an articulate young whippersnapper, but that's about it.
Hillary has her fedayeen. Still with her ™️ forever
Bernie, AOC, Ilhan Omar, and some others all have loyal fans who will keep going to bat, for free, forever
Like there are popular politicians who are charismatic or have otherwise managed to form this unbreakable sort of parasocial thing over decades of massaging.
Biden isn't one. He's a total corporate shill nobody whose career beyond being corporate shill senator from DE #2 was DOA until a Mr Barstool Ocrumbler came along and picked Jim Crow Joe back up to reassure the racists that the black guy would always have the most racist possible VP around to keep him from thinking about doing too much anti-white racism... or whatever.
He's a puzzle piece that got forced into place. He never had any business being in such a position. He should've (metaphorically for legal purposes) died on the primaries campaign trail. No one likes him just like no one likes Manchin. Capitalists like him, sure, and capitalists kept him in his seat as senator for years because he was their loyal doggy with the D after his name. Then he was an invisible VP. Then he was supposed to retire and die... Obama even snubbed him for being his successor. But the old dipshit just won't fucking stop finding the keys to the car. He was useful once again as the right wing "basically just a Republican" guy to win the SC primary (a pointless and irrelevant democratic state primary as SC will NEVER go blue) and for the MSM/DNC to rally around to rob Bernie for the second consecutive time in two primary seasons.
But no one likes him, no one has ever liked him, he was supposed to croak in approx 2019. Anyone supporting him online (and I'll die on this hill 100%) for his entire primary and then presidency is paid in some way or the most unintelligent/ignorant doofus on earth.
Looking at all this together I cannot help but think fate has ordained him to perpetually fail upwards and that I should become a devotee to this man whose rise could only be credited to divine intervention.
