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

jokermala I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for.

She’ll distance herself from a single comment from Biden about Trump supporters but not distance herself from Biden’s genocide in Gaza, got it.

One is a "civility issue", which is supremely important, the other is "international human rights" which is color coded and unimportant. Please stop losing sight of what could complicate Harris' legendary candidacy.

Really does highlight that the only real problem libs have with trump is that he's rude (which was also their loudly stated problem with punished-bernie back in the day, even though he wasn't)

One group is eligible to vote for her (they won't lmao, but what if they did?)

The other can't

So, if I understand the message from liberals correctly, if you don't vote for Kamala you're implicitly endorsing the end of democracy and human rights in America, but if you vote for Trump you're not a bad person?

[–] [email protected] 52 points 2 weeks ago

It depends. If you refuse to vote for Kamala as a minority, that is basically a vote for Trump, therefore you're a bad person. If you're too racist to vote Kamala right now so you're thinking of voting for Trump, you're a good person who just needs a bit of help to see Kamala is the right candidate who will do what you want her to do, much more effectively than Trump.

Leftists who don't vote for Harris are supporting a fascist and threatening democracy and deserve what's coming to them, but Republicans who gleefully support the person they call fascist are actually good people.

That's pretty easy to reconcile. Not voting for Kamala = vote for Trump, therefore not voting for Trump = vote for Kamala, therefore voting third party or not voting at all = vote for Both Kamala and Trump, so you're not a bad person and are not endorsing the end of democracy, crisis averted.

This shit is so funny

Trump voters are garbage lol

Old Man Biden finally dropping some truths. Hopefully he just goes completely unchained in his lame duck

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

His unchained might be starting war with iran or russia out of spite sadness-abysmal

I was hoping it'd be more along the lines of calling Bill Gates a pedophile

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago

he'd say it as a compliment

You know a the-democrat is in late stages of cognitive decline when they lose their civility fetish.

Please give us legit Dark Brandon. I need this in my life.

Its hilarious how outraged Republicans got about this when trump calls large groups of people garbage or other disparaging terms almost every day

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 weeks ago

anti-cracker-aktions immediately jump at the chance to feel persecuted

Trump: "Democrats they're destroying the country, they're all communist pdfiles"

Democrats: "wow he's so uncouth but we won't kick a media storm over this!"

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

She spent all that time sucking up to conservatives just for Biden to call them all trash. Extremely funny way to lose

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Her fucking fault she had like a 15 point lead when they were calling chuds weird fascists then she did the usual lib bullshit of sacrificing literally every other voting block to appeal to the mythical "moderate republican"

At a certain point doing the same thing over and over again loses the generosity of the benefit of the doubt.

Like literally it's (poorly) in response to somebody calling all of Puerto rico garbage.

"Puerto Rico isn't garbage and if you think it is you're garbage" is the exact kind of thing dems should have been saying for 10 years at this point.

As I've been saying for years and getting frustratingly vindicated constantly, these civility fetishists are gonna get us all fucking killed.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think that 15 point lead was ever going to last. That was the lead when the country saw her as "Generic Democrat that isn't Biden."

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 weeks ago

The opposition party has joined the fight against fascism voters on the side of fascism voters

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago

literally her only chance to win at this point is centering the garbage patch shit, she should be thankful Trump's doing it for her lmao

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

let-them-fight but for chuds, Trump, Biden, Kamala, and libs

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks ago

Gotcha, then they will have no problem with us voting Stein and De La Cruz, right?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago
[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

Wasn’t Biden doing a lot of the same in 2020? I remember him doing the whole “unity” thing then and getting praise for it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

Trump: I will use the military to crush the left. Immigrants are criminals.

MSM: 🤷‍♂️

Biden: MAGA supporters are garbage.

MSM: 😱

@civility stays winning

Trump [seized] on the furore by getting into a garbage truck as he campaigned in Wisconsin, saying: "Biden should be ashamed of himself."

Donald Trump boards garbage truck to draw attention to Biden's remark - YouTube

0:14 Not strong and powerful.

0:27 "How do ya like my garbage truck?"

hillary miss me yet?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

They really don't understand the psychology of CHUDs at all, do they? Reminds of me school councilors who kept telling me to be nice to bullies and try to be their friend so they would stop being bullies. Big shock, it didn't work. Only thing that stopped them was actually fighting back and showing them I was too much of a threat to pick on. Being a spineless little weasel doesn't make you likeable, especially to people who already hate you.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

It's like they absorb all the "you should still be open to being friends to other kids that you don't get along with" stuff from children's media, but forget that even Goku first beat the fuck out of Yamcha/Tien/Piccolo/Vegeta before they squashed the beef and became friends. And even then, Vegeta was still a shithead after they became amicable.
