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 think Biden is an old out of touch asshole in league with big corpo as are all the rest of the Democrats except maybe a few in current fed government. I also know for a fact that our socialist policies are being tanked on purpose by both sides in a lot of ways in order to make communism seem misguided at best and evil at worst by comparison.

You're absolutely right about this and I'm glad you understand what many, many liberals fail to get. And what's sad is that even the few dems that aren't completely in bourgeois pockets are either ineffectual or get bullied into falling in line with the rest of the party (ie your Bernies and AOCs)

What I want more than anything is for my kids and their friends, and the rest of humanity for that matter to grow up in a stable and healthy environment.

The depressing reality is that as the contradictions of capitalism continue heighten and give way to outright fascism, the environment they know now is only going to get worse and worse. So long as your previous point remains true, the material conditions of the US with only degrade, not improve. "The master's tools cannot dismantle the master's house"

Trump's and Biden's records on, for example, LGBT rights, are essentially the same, Trump is just much louder about his disdain because it gets the hogs in his support base frothing at the mouth. Trump promised to build the wall but Biden's actually built more of it than he did. Liberals love to point to the chud-majority Supreme Court as an example of why we must Vote Blue No Matter Who while ignoring that RBG was too arrogant to retire under Obama when it actually made sense to, which may have saved Roe v Wade. The entire system of governance built over 200 years ago by wealthy genociding white slaveowners is never going to produce a candidate that actually makes life better for the average American, which is why we believe it must be dismantled entirely.

I refuse to support any candidate that promises "nothing will fundamentally change", especially when that's the only promise of his Biden has actually made good on. There's no reason to believe he won't just roll over and let the chuds keep dismantling every semblance of minority rights, and even join in with them at times, so he will not get my vote. And this is all aside from his explicit support of genocide in Palestine, which was already reason enough to fully condemn him.
