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

It's also in my experience the most terminally online leftists are the ones going online complaining about other people not voting instead of like actually doing organizing. I certainly don't see a lot of them outside the internet or when doing things that actually matter instead of putting a piece of paper in a box thinking it changes anything.

i'm excited to see this meme every 4 years until the collapse of america because the democrat strategy has been "vote for lesser evil! this is the most important election of our lifetime" do horrible things "vote lesser evil again! have i mentioned this is the most important election of our lifetime?" do horrible things again. realistically, what is the correct option here? both trump and biden will funnel outrageous sums of money right into "israeli" bombs to be dropped on palestine. so lets just vote for the genocide supporter that pretends to care about queer people in america, as opposed to the genocide supporter that doesnt like queer people in america? you do realize that as long as democrats are getting their votes, no matter what your or my opinion about them is, they'll see absolutely no reason to change their ways? but what do i know, im just a "terminally online leftist" who spends all of my waking hours organizing instead of shilling genocide joe on the internet.

I disagree. Every 16-20 years, they will have a candidate who isn't the 'lesser evil' but someone who everybody loves and will definitely change things for the better! Oh it was the same thing the Republicans wanted to do but with an inspiring speaker at the head, oh golly gee I can't believe it happened again!
