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

One issue
No i disagree on a lot more than one issue. Covid, climate, surveillance, taxes, fracking, how to handle infrastructure, civil rights, war, funding for Nazis and a lot more. Palestine is just the dealbreaker.
Pretty telling that they think there's just one teeeny tiny thing he's wrong on (genocide)
And how Biden doesn’t actually support unions (the railroad workers).

- Disagrees on one issue
- Police brutality against protesters on that one issue
- Calls the protesters anti-Semitic
- Bans a whole social media platform for that one issue
Drags the rest of the world into a war for that one issue.
Keep belittling my position, that'll win me over.
Keep belittling my principled and consistent opposition to the systematic extermination of entire ethnic, religious, or cultural groups, widely regarded as the ultimate crime greater than any other conceivable crime.
Fucking liberals.

All liberals framing this a disagreement says is that nobody in Gaza is truly human to them and they're just some nebulous "issue". If you're willing to write off 40,000 dead as an issue that you disagree on, you're not a human. You're a soulless ghoul that should be dealt with.
I've also seen them saying "that's the price we pay to save democracy"

That "one issue disagreement" is concealing a fucking genocide. How can people post this, and genuinely think that bombing Gaza to dust is just an UwU Smol Bean disagreement?!
This is literally when republicans are like "they banned me for my conservative beliefs"
Very telling they're not saying what that "one disagreement" is
Also it's not one disagreement it's like the 4th or 5th it's just the one that stopped most people from even entertaining liberals bullshit excuses.
He's also still a strike breaker who's got us drilling more oil than anybody anywhere ever and I still haven't forgot that he proposed ending the entire asylum system like 4 weeks ago in order to appease republicans tonget them to send the other multi billion dollar aid package to famously corrupt neo nazis.
Politics is just a team sport.
Genocide is an "issue" that we "disagree" on.
No gulag for you, liberal.
Like it's somehow the citizens fault that slaveholders wrote a constitution where they presidential election is a shitshow, even by Western standards.
Gerrymandering, voter suppression, media manipulation, primary rigging and finally the electoral collage safety valve. Oh and the two same parties that'd ruled for 200 years are practically identical. But hey, at least you can choose what color the orphan crushing machine will be painted these four years.
Remember to 
Sorry genocide supporters, I’m still not voting for your decrepit old fuck
Honestly, libs must love the genocide. It gives them cover for all the other ways Biden is garbage too. They get to pretend it's just that one issue (which mustn't be named because genocide sounds bad), and they align with the left on everything else. Grossly inadequate action on climate change all but certainly dooming millions to death by climate disaster, white supremest border policies and foreign policy more broadly, failure to increase the minimum wage, failure to control cost of living, failure to protect reproductive rights, failure to protect LGBTQ+ rights, massive infrastructure failures like train derailments and Boeing and bridges, funding a corrupt military industrial complex grift in Ukraine, stoking a world war with China while simultaneously denying us affordable electric vehicles, robustly funding the police while discrediting and neutering BLM movement and then siccing their paid piggies on us first chance they get, expansion of domestic surveillance, failure to meaningfully address the rise of mask off fascism in America, healthcare please, no college debt relief, the list goes on and on.
But no, they just have to pretend we're all holdouts and unreasonable for caring about one issue. It's the only one they can't rationalize away because genocide is truly a bridge too far, so they retreat behind rhetoric and flatten the magnitude of that issue by pretending it somehow has to be considered in the larger picture while simultaneously refusing to give the larger picture any kind of sober analysis. These people are truly the smoothest of brains.
Honestly, libs must love the genocide.
Of course they do, and it doesn't matter the flavour of liberal (conservatives/fascists) you talk to, it's like they're cruel for cruelty's sake. They believe that their imperialist genocides are unquestionably justified, and they'll be smug while they do it too.

I hate liberals I hate liberals I hate liberals I hate liberals I hate liberals 
The one issue is:
- Genocide in Palestine
- Refusal to do anything about abortion
- Refusal to do anything about healthcare
- Refusal to do anything about housing
- Refusal to do anything about transportation/infrastructure
- Doing 25% of what they promised about climate change (which is already 25% of what should be done).
- Enabling fascism everywhere
- Being hostile to China for no reason
- Stopping all Covid protections months early
- Rampant "inflation"
- Social Security implodes in <10 years
- Losing to the Republicans
- Not punishing nerds like Fetterman and whats her name for not following the party line
Just that one. And that's ignoring the continued general Capitalist genocide, allowing companies to rule us, the rotting education system, collapsing meaningful tech progress (Remember the Space Race?), and the general inability to govern without resorting to marshal law.
I am in my early 40s. The genocide of Gaza is probably the most evil thing the US has been directly involved in in my lifetime. One thing my ass.
Just to be clear, as somebody in the same general age cohort: that's a pretty high fucking bar. See: Lebanon, Panama, Iraq, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Afghanistan, Iraq 2: Daddy Issues Boogaloo, Yemen, I'm missing somewhere in the ballpark of a hundred (not an exaggeration) evil things America has done in my lifetime. Some shit in Sierra Leone? Definitely some fucking around in Iran. The evil shit piles up so high it's hard to keep track.
Nobody against the genocide is gonna vote Trump you dumb dicks. They're just not gonna vote. And you goaded and prodded progressives to vote for Biden last time because we could "move him left" which has occurred zero times (everything "good" Biden has done has been bog standard Democrat stuff you'd expect them to do anyway) and the one issue, the key issue where people are trying to move him "left" is to stop arming a fucking genocide. A genocide! If I'm in the car while my friend does a drive by I go to fucking jail too. Fuckers. Smug liberal fuckers.
(The one issue is genocide. Also there is more than one issue)
"wins if you don't choose"
oh yeah? i'm in a heavily blue state, meaning my vote literally does not matter unless god's voice booms down from heaven telling democrats to stay home. that's thanks to the electoral college. you know, the outdated institution that Joe Biden went on record saying he was against abolishing?
And it's the same for heavily red states. It literally doesn't matter unless you live in Florida, Ohio, or one of the other handful of swing states, but they love to act like we're the problem for why they can't motivate people to support their shit candidates
According to them, I'm an antisemite, so why would I vote for pro Israel Joe?
Do liberals have even one non-contradictory stance?

So they take support for Ukraine as a given, so why is it ok to give unconditional support for Ukraine but not unconditional support for Palestine? Even a completely naive person should spot the hypocrisy here.

lmao yeah that snide weaselly racist horseshit is definitely gonna convince people to vote for Biden, libs are fuckin cooked and they know it
These people agree with Biden 100%.
Including the "one issue" but they're not stupid enough to say they support genocide.
I wonder if this is the same type of person who has said and believed: "Adolf Hitler would have been remembered as a great man if it weren't for the Holocaust."
Or the type of person who says they would have stood up to Nazis in 1933. They think this is our 1933 and nobody is doing anything meaningful. We are just going to vote our way out of fascism.
"Many of us like to ask ourselves, “What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?”
The answer is, you’re doing it. Right now."
After 7 months, some 
from Johannesburg no less, probably Sandton, finally asked me if I condemn Hamas and recognize the legitimacy of Isnotreal, lmao.
It’s just “one issue” bro…
the issue: exterminating a whole race of indigenous people, auctioning off their land before the job is even done. irony completely lost on the perpetrators.
Yeah, "one" "issue"
blow up the control panel with a yassin 105
