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

punish him

HOW?

You won't even go out and protest

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 month ago

Vote for him, get him into office, pay him a salary, give him the best medical care, give him access to the world's most powerful people and most impactful institutions, and then let him retire. That'll show him!

Pretty sure his loss of mental capacity is gonna be punishment enough, and mean he wouldn't notice any punishments

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 month ago

Lmao let’s punish him by giving him power again

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago (1 children)

lmao "properly punish" after having just rewarded him with four more years of unlimited power

Proper punishment would entail a single afternoon and a volcano

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

This is volcano abuse

I wonder how they think we're gonna get a parliament or even ranked choice

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago

Once you've voted for Dems enough times to get your little card stamped 10 times we get one free overhaul of our electoral system and a small drink

I can't tell if this is ironic

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I really hope they're just doing a very dedicated bit

they benefit from the status quo, so changing anything is secondary to their goal of not feeling guilty about any of the violence it takes to maintain it

Death to Amerika, death to the DNC for having the nerve to playact like they're the lesser evil.

He seems to have gone further right as his brain decomposes, so pushing him left is probably going to keep not working.

Except the moment Election Day is over, the election season for the next midterm has started, aka the most important election of our lifetime (until the next one). So we’re right back to, now is not the time for criticism, we have to unite to defeat the Republicans become if they gain control of Congress that means they’ll slaughter every puppy in America.
