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

They want the unity ticket so bad, it's not a surprise he said that - that's what he's been writing for like 30 years!

The line that pisses me off the most is "here's my pitch for the writers' room" this man literally thinks reality is a tv show.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

that's pretty much liberals and their historical idealism— they think reality is primarily driven by people's ideas and not their material conditions

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

in some sense it's true... they script "reality" all the time with the propaganda ocean most Americans live and breathe in

The best solution for American democracy is actually to just have one party. We can decide which party that is by letting God decide and we can let that party choose their leader themselves. And then we can all go to the ballot box to vote for that one party. This is totally different from monarchy somehow because we all vote at the end of the process and that makes it democracy

“The United States is also a one-party state, but with typical American extravagance, they have two of them”

why doesn't the new york times publish my shitposts?

i'm trying to imagine having spent my entire adult life huffing my own farts and being told how pretty i sound afterwards so that when i wake up one morning and an idea pops into my head that i feel a burning need to share with the world, instead of being relegated to a niche corner of the anonymous internet i just call up my friends at a major newspaper and tell them i've got a fucking opinion that i want to share

see, my immediate reaction was, "this is a bit, how could this not be a bit?", so I hope they cut you a check for publishing what is clearly your shitpost

Well liberals rehabilitated George W. Bush and McCain already so Romney was obviously next.

Can't wait for the rehabilitation of Trump in 2032

If they're going with a Republican, why not go with Trump? He's clearly ahead and they could earn a lot of votes that way.

Here's the best way for Democrats to win the presidency: nominate Donald Trump

Still Kamala as VP though. That's important.

Hindenburg giving Hitler chancellorship, but farce.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Thank you, Mr. Sorkin.

I honestly hope they do that. It would be so funny.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Good God I knew Sorkin would have a stupid idea but little Mitchell????

Aaron Sorkin jump off a bridge challenge.
