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

If you ever supported this guy, please raise your hand so we can publicly mock you. This is your penance.

It's okay to be fooled by his mesmerizingly large body, but we still gonna mock you

The trick is to be nakedly cynical towards everyone so that nobody can ever accuse you of having hope for a brighter future.

Honestly, now that I think about it...

  • Liz Warren

  • Krysten Sinema

  • Kristen Gilibrand

and now this.

It increasingly feels like the more left-posturing candidates are deliberately rigged to explode in voters' faces.

It was rigged from the start

Reject hope. Embrace planning.

I am so, so sorry. I just saw another giant and got excited.

It's understandable. When the Big Bois speak I listen

Not in the primary, there was someone better, but I'm pretty sure I filled his circle on the general election ballot... it was this chucklefuck or Mehmet Oz.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah honestly voting for him to prevent one of the worst grifters of all time from winning a senate seat is understadable.

Who was the better candidate in the primary though? Just curious.

Can I use the lib defense that I thought he’d be less awful than Dr. Oz?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

You may. We will still mock you for it but you still may use it.
