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

Poor Bernie. He's had to deal with basically all of his coworkers being liberal capitalist losers. The guy says "they have great healthcare and they are solving the homeless crisis better than we are" and they trash him.

Half of million fled lithuania after capitalism restoration, but we'll skip those numbers

Oh right, it was when the presidential election reached a turning point due to the Revolving Door and Willie Horton ads, which used racist dogwhistles to imply that Dukakis was "soft on crime". Also, the person who created those ads (Roger Ailes) would later become the CEO of Fox News.

Man I haven't got the spoons for a shakesville thread today.
The only reason I know about Shakesville is because Twitter main character Ana Mardoll wrote for them, apparently
The main writer was one of my favorite Chapo characters. It was like a CHUD parody of what a feminist is came to life, and decided to ride or die for Hillary.
Probably my "favorite" Shakesville moment was when the blog's founder

posted glowing praise of a TERF, got criticized for it in the post's comments, and responded by haranguing those critics for daring to question her good nature. 
Remember when Melissa claimed Bernie (and therefore his followers) was racist because he said "working class people and people of color". This according to her was because he believed they were mutually exclusive.
That was "15 minute cities means you're not allowed to leave your designated area" levels of maliciously misinterpreting someone's words
"enormous deficiencies"
Hmm I wonder why he said that. It's not like the US have constantly gerrymandered districts and challenged voting rights of their own citizens. 
Maybe its a good thing that they don't let businesses influence politics but what do I know?
