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 can just tell this shit is a game to them.

(not a game (game room))

They're treatbrained just like the poors, but they have the money and power to giggle about it while looking down on the rest of us. They admire the blue curtains, they call their own KHALEESI(tm), they see everything as a game, or even as a joke, because they are free from immediate consequences for their actions.

Every time a theater kid is born, the gods flip a coin...

I dated one once. I was young and dumb.

Liberals are so weird.

The "Policy Plinko" board just leading to "blue state" or "red state" is so on-brand it hurts.

Moving from Texas to Washington state, I was really shocked how they viewed people who grew up poor in red states. Didn't matter the political affiliation.

Then they go and bitch about the homeless coming in, or God forbid you made it and landed a good job, then it's your fault for raising prices.

The JD Vance room with the wood panels really sold what they think of the rural poor.

Couch joke was the only saving grace.

“I’m not traffic, I’m stuck in traffic” but for housing. They expect to be able to buy a house and see the value increase year over year at a good clip, but then get salty when that happens for other people.

Bell Hooks

One day I'll write a title without making a mindless mistake obama-sad

Ok the Vance couch is actually kinda funny. The rest is just weird.

Pragmatic kick the can. Whoever can kick the rights can down the most election markers wins!

The cherry picker. Claw machine that picks platitudes and means testing. There is an actual codifying right in there...deep down there somewhere and too small for the claw to ever grab, but hey it only costs a little political capital each try.

The watering down the bills. Whoever can water the progressive target the fastest wins!

The ruthkanda-forever light loop where the timing is rigged slightly off the main policy, you swear if you go another round you can time it just right.

The Parlematarian coin pusher that will bury your policies in non binding technicalities and comittee meetings it might not ever see the light of day....maybe just one more coin.

Incredibly cringe. The type of people who post shit like “Ruthkanda forever”

It was a tweet someone put out when RGB died. She claimed her five year old daughter put her arms in an “x” and said “Ruthkanda forever.”

"Policy plunko"

Look at the result at the bottom

"Blue state"

Why did I expect there to be policies listed there? Then again, I guess landing on "murdering thousands of children in possibly the most horrible genocide of this century so far" wouldn't fit the "yassss qweeen" theme

Tbh my immediate thought was “oh that’s perfect. This is probably how the Harris team is formulating positions on everything irl” before laughing at what was actually at the bottom of the board.

I wish Brandon didn’t veto his Anti White People Bill.

Someone who got paid more for it than I do in a year probably

I mean, if I had to attend that party for some reason, sitting down and reading bell hooks the entire time would probably be a good use of my time.
