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

As shitty as it is, this country 1. Isn't designed in such a way that would allow a third-party candidate a genuine chance of winning and 2. Has too many centrists that will vote for Biden regardless. Trump has repeatedly garnered heavy support in Republican polls, so they're pretty much almost all in on him. Splitting the blue vote between Biden and whoever else will only lead to a Trump victory after which we might not even be ABLE to vote in 2028.

I'm legitimately having a panic attack. These airheaded anarcho-kiddies are genuinely going to land us all in camps.

biden's doing literally nothing to stop states from criminalizing lgbt people's existence emilie-pain

their fears about a trump presidency are valid but i wish these libs would stop putting their hopes in the DNC when its clear they have zero interest in running a candidate that isn't complete dogshit

If liberals incite anarchists enough with lib insults like anarcho-kiddies it will drive a wedge between them and radicalise a lot of the baby-anarchists into proper revleft anarchists.

Critical support to liberals fucking up their relationship with the only buttress holding back a huge tide of people from radicalising more significantly.

The first and last consideration to how you vote should be your electoral collage position.

Red State? Write in 'nobody' and send a message.

Blue State? Write in 'nobody' and send a message.

Purple? IDFK figure it out for yourself

They’ve genuinely never been told no by anyone who wasn’t their cultural enemy and don’t know how to handle it.

My vote isn't blue it's vanta black

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is the same as when libs say "not voting just empowers people to steal elections"

Hey dumbass libs, nothing is being done anyway, voting isn't going to change the outcome.

Hexbear knows what they're doing. No they don't. I literally cannot stop seeing patterns stuff

[–] SnowySkyes@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

Cool, I guess I'm an "Anarcho-kiddie". Your insufferable attitude and vapid insults aren't going to make me vote for your candidate.

These fuckers would vote for hitler because Himmler is worse.

Brandon both has no power to improve our situation, just a sad Irish boy, but also Trump with that same power would destroy us.

vote

[–] Sephitard9001@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

You can't vote for anybody other than Biden or else Trump will have death camps in the US for minorities and LGBT. Don't ask why I'm supporting a party that will not purge a political party that I supposedly believe wants to create death camps

That comment has some very strong “how do you do, fellow leftists?” energy going on.

I'm legitimately having a panic attack. These airheaded anarcho-kiddies are genuinely going to land us all in camps.

Imagine blaming anyone but the fucked up police state that materially throws people in the camps. This is how demoralized the average american liberal is, their fucking capitalist dictatorship is like a force of nature to them that you can do nothing about but concede more and more of your life away to.

Can't keep track of what bogyman buzzword group I'm supposedly a part of anymore.

At least no shitty AWBs are on the table when the Republicans are in charge.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Those things are pure political theater, the Dems will never actually spend the political capital to pass them.

r/ask_transgender already gives bland and uninspired standard answers with the occassional dogshit take slipped in for good measure when it comes to trans related questions, and that's what they're supposed to be experts about. I hope nobody here expected them to come up with anything insightful about US electoral politics from them.

Voting Biden isnt going to stop whatever is coming

slightly better than i thought, anyway. still gross

[–] ComradeLeonie@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I made the mistake a couple weeks ago to reply to a similar comment calling everyone who doesn’t vote for Biden because of the genocide a “redfash” and “tankie”. The amount of hatred some of them have towards other people instead of the system is insane. And the way they constantly make up new shit to “disprove” everything is too.
