Especially when you consider that democracy still exists today despite being a nation under attack.

They've literally postponed next year's elections. Democracy is explicitly on pause because they're under attack.

Plus of course the banning of opposition parties.

You don't understand, democracy means they have good vibes. I don't know why you bring up elections and the viability of opposition parties, are you some kind of Putler bot?

You can’t pause something that never existed in the first place. I’d hardly consider a US coup puppet government a “democracy”.

Although a bunch of bureaucrats did get to buy a third vacation home, so who can say the coup was really all that bad?

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
