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

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

We must keep voting for the Democratic candidate until there isn't a potentially worse candidate running (just ONE MORE ELECTION). We can only oppose the Democratic leadership when they're not at all threatened, otherwise we would be making space for Republicans to take power. We'll make progress soon I promise this tactic will work.

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.

In the first place these people are saying you are only allowed to vote for a single person anyways, so it's not like we have to wait for Trump. And what's with this rhetoric? I've heard from real people that another Trump term would cause "the end of America as we know it" (if only). Do these people not realize that Trump was president for four years and did nothing markedly different from any other president except say obscene things? If we let Trump back in he'll commit genocide but he'll say mean things while doing it!

US elections sucks for trans rights. On the one hand you have vicious demons who would love to make trans existence illegal. On the other hand you have soulless vampires who occasionally pay lip service to the abstract idea of LGBT acceptance but who doesn't give a flying fuck about trans rights and who are more concerned with making the demons happy than with protecting vulnerable minorities.

I can see why someone who cares about trans rights would hope for the vampires to win but is hoping for a slightly slower fascism the best we can do? The cycle of abuse has to stop somewhere.

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.

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.

Countdown until we get people being called "anarkiddy tankies" is in the negatives rn

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months 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.

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

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

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