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

Good.

If your "leftism" is being destroyed by the fact that trans people and tankies exist then it needs to die.

Diehard Democrats need a scapegoat because without one they are left with the painfully uncomfortable realisation that the DNC exists in a parasitical relationship with the GOP and that, in a shocking number of situations, their party would prefer a Republican victory because it provides the Democrats with huge opportunities for shifting further to the right, for preferencing the interests of capital instead of needing to make small concessions to the working class, and of course for fundraising.

So naturally it's the tankies and the trans people and the Russian bots who are ruining the so-called left. They need this to be true in order to diffuse the cognitive dissonance they experience by being a Democrat supporter.
