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

Essentially, there are two parties in the USA. The fascist and liberal ones. But because the fascist one keeps drifting right, it means the liberal one can keep drifting right, too, ostensibly to capture the voters the other party is going too far right to leave behind. And because they pressure their voters to keep voting for them because they are in fact the lesser of evil, they don't actually have to do anything for them except rhetoric and maybe one or two good bills an administration. On the whole, though, the country still keeps drifting to the right over time.
Threatening the liberal party that you actually have to earn your vote shocks them out of their complacency, because a lot of them don't actually want fascism, they just want the same liberal bourgeois society they have now, but don't have the theory or historical knowledge that makes them realize their still making life worse with their strategies. A lot of their donor class on the other hand absolutely doesn't care which party wins, though, which is also important to understand, although a lot of the liberal voters themselves don't understand that.
At least that's how I've come to see it on my short time on hexbear.
