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

They also bragged about ending child poverty in the 2022 election cycle and then got rid of pandemic help programs causing one of the most dramatic increases in child poverty in US history.

The economy is good tho. Get back to work.

Those kids can work at a slaughterhouse or a Burger King to increase the flow of treats. Poverty solved just like COVID was.

POV: You believe health care should be a right, not a privilege, in America.

Furthermore, we estimate that ensuring healthcare access for all Americans would save over 68,000 lives and 1.73 million life-years every year.
We calculate that a single-payer, universal healthcare system is likely to lead to a 13% savings in national healthcare expenditure, equivalent to over $450 billion annually.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8572548/

Every president or presidential candidate who is against universal healthcare is essentially saying that they are willing to allow a quarter of a million people to die (and waste 2 trillion dollars) over the course of their term in order to protect the profits of healthcare companies. Do they really expect us to forget the fact that most prominent Democrats supported that level of social murder only a few years ago?

I'll never forget that moment in the 2016 dem debates when they were asked if they supported universal healthcare to raise their hands, there were like 10 candidates up there including copmala and only Bernie and Elizabeth Warren raised their hands

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

you must be remembering 2020? Kamala didn't run for president in 2016 and neither did Warren

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And in the 2020 primary debates Harris did raise her hand and the next day her campaign staff walked it back. Twice, iirc.

[–] mkultrawide@hexbear.net 43 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They technically did the meme right by accident.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

Yeah, it's pov because he's attempting to strangle you.

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

So if you believe people should have healthcare, the last thing you'll see is these two ghouls with their shit-eating grins?

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

It's so embarassing even by lib standards:

the-democrat: "Ok, with the tax base we have....here's some of that to fund police..."

amerikkka-clap: "Ok."

the-democrat: "...And fire departments...."

amerikkka-clap: "Ok"

the-democrat: "...and a corn subsidy...."

amerikkka-clap: "Ok"

the-democrat: "And hospitals. I suppose they're infrastructure too."

joker-amerikkklap: "STOP RIGHT THERE, STALIN!"

[–] CommieCornbread@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

I saw somewhere that they finally used the POV thing accurately because "you" (POV) actually believe healthcare is a right and you're looking at two people who don't.

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pov: you think I have a goldfish memory

[–] 0x0520@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Every accusation a confession?

"You thought healthcare was a right in America"

Something about that selfie gives me the "heebie-jeebies" what-the-hell it's so unsettling idk how to describe it apart from that weird word lol

[–] the_itsb@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

The angle of his arm is pretty strange for having a phone in his hand that he's controlling enough to take a picture. I think maybe he didn't take it, and it's the weird attempt at feigning a selfie that makes them look even more fake than usual.

That can be arranged. Come on up north, we're real friendly here. kkkanada

Can someone insert a gun in the pic?

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

God I hate it when corporations etc try to do internet speak.

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Liberals are better off just appropriating the NAFO shit. At least that's in their ballpark for memes.

this will be your POV if you make a medicare4all post, and later you look towards the viewing gallery as your being strapped to the gurney in the execution chamber.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

They don't believe that. That's what makes me sick about it. It's not that it's shocking for them to lie, but something about this just disgusts me. Libs saying this is the most hollow and gross virtue signaling, ecause they 100 percent do not believe this

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

I keep coming back to this post and getting angrier every time

the fucking gall

"hey we saw you across the bar and we really dig your vibe, can we buy you a drink?"

[–] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

And when I say everyone should have access to healthcare, by "healthcare" I mean a violently drunk eugenics enthusiast who doesn't believe in germ theory rubbing powdered lead into your open sores, trying to drain you of what he calls your "mongrel blood" and having you lobotomized for suffering from "the hysterics common to the gender of cowards". I'm very, very old you see.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

There's a real uncanny valley thing going on but it's still sort of realistic. Why is Kamala's hubby wearing a Biden mask anyway?
