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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

If I hear "first past the post" one more time, I'm going to fuck some shit up.

Also, no lib anywhere has a plan to fight fascism. They have no plans before or after. They're just gonna roll over and accept it because they are truly the ones with comfortable lives and nothing to lose.

Yes!!!! I have had it with libs incessantly intoning that like a fucking mantra. Bringing up first past the post/ranked choice voting is the new lib version of complaining about the electoral college.

Libs always need a magic bullet to believe in. After 20 years of it being abolishing the electoral college they realized its not going to happen and now they've moved on to this.

Australia has proportional representation and mandatory voting and is still a settler-colonial shithole

Exactly. All these little fantasies about magic bullet reforms don't matter, because it isn't the process that is the problem so much as who controls it

And they don't even support a change! They like the two party system because it reminds them of their Marvel movies
