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

You could argue Trump would be just as evil as Biden in Gaza, and I wouldn’t disagree. But the reality is, Biden is president and Trump is not. Biden is the one who is the war criminal w/r/t Gaza.

Assume every single crime liberals say Trump did or even possibly did is true. You put all that on one side of the scales of justice and the evil Biden has perpetuated in Gaza would still far outweigh all of Trump’s lifetime of sins, real and imagined.

We're stuck in a very shitty choice of two: Someone who is actively doing genocide right now, and someone who will probably actively do genocide. Is the second just very slightly less shitty? I really don't know, I guess.

It's never as simple as just stuck in a choice of two. There were people protesting outside Bernie's office to get him to say something about the genocide, with one guy climbing a ladder to look him in the face and do that.

The many, many imbecilic always blue no matter who could try putting their efforts towards pushing Biden towards a better position on Gaza rather than treat him like he's a pre-programmed bot. How many people voted for him, like over 80 million? Can you imagine if a portion of these people actually tried protesting and participating in trying to shut down Israeli weapons factories?

Real life means you can do more than just vote for war criminal A versus war criminal B.
