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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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
This isn't an issue with some insane complexity that requires all of these 'thought exercises'.
We are talking about the second in command who is running for president, and who is part of an admin that is actively facilitating a genocide against the will of it's own voting base, the 'generous' interpretation being that their donor class wishes them to do so. Regardless, her base will continue to support her for a litany of reasons but they are supporting a candidate who is (and has stated she wishes to continue) facilitating a genocide.
Whatever twisted logic can be strung together will never undo that simple truth.
Donald Trump could literally be Adolf Hitler in a mask, and it still does not make this permissable; in fact, that should make it MORE galling then, that these people are actively sabotaging their own election chances vis a vis alienating their own base by killing people. Instead, liberal pundits and politicians have decided it is the fault of voters not being able to stomach the stench of death wafting off of their party, and the 'loyal' voters join them in condemning their own, rather than directing their righteous fury at their own politicians who are mocking them.
So unbelievably housebroken.
