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

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Clinton's campaign tactics. The slogans are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of politics and electioneering most of them will go over a typical voter's head. There's also Clinton's Liberal outlook, which is deftly woven into her characterisation- her personal philosophy draws heavily from Francis Fukuyama literature, for instance. The Liberals understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these slogans, to realise that they're not just clever- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Clinton truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Clinton's existential catchphrase "Pokemon Go to the polls," which itself is a cryptic reference to Obama's "Time for a change". I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Clinton's genius charisma unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them. ๐
And yes, by the way, i DO have a Clinton tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid ๐
