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

MODERATORS
Yeah, they might repeal Roe v Wade or cancel student loan forgiveness or cancel all COVID relief or pass anti trans laws in multiple states or put kids in cages. Can you imagine???
I know you know republicans did the repealing of Roe v Wade and state level restrictions of abortion rights.
I know you know Democrats have done absolutely nothing about it
Sounds like presidential election doesn't actually matter that much then so you should all stop moaning about it nonstop, and get to work on finding the actual leverage into power (it's labor power and mass work stoppages)
Okay, so trump is scary because he could use executive powers to ruin things right? What about Biden not using executive powers to protect things?
He had years to put out protections and take steps to mitigate the damage of the Supreme Court.
The fact that he didn't use the powers at his disposal to protect Roe v Wade, as one of the most powerful people in the world, is damning.
Biden not trying to protect Roe v Wade as the sitting US president is tantamount to endorsing the overturn of Roe v Wade.
democrats had four separate chances to codify Roe, going back to jimmy "east timor" carter. campaign obama promised to do it and then president obama turned around and said it wasn't a priority. RBG could've resigned when obama had a senate majority, but she had such hubris and ego that she wanted to be replaced by hilary clinton. Biden didn't even try to pack the court.
democrats ain't shit and you're a giant mark if you think they'll actually help or protect you from what's coming
I don't expect shit from democrats but it's actual factual that marginalized communities have a better time under democrat rule than republican
Biden has Trump beat on deportations and has funded police departments all over the country to record levels, to say nothing of the democratic weaponization of RICO laws against black protesters
Yeah I'd expect numbers that go up every presidency to continue going up every presidency
That's not a complete accounting of the impact of a presidency. It's a pretty wild take to argue trump is equally as bad. My understanding is in areas like tax policy, infrastructure investment, and labor movement Biden is better. Even in cabinet members appointed, Bidens ghouls are slightly less ghoulish.
Again, I don't like Biden. But it's a meme to say it's equal to a trump presidency
What kind of bizzare expectation is that? Trump's and Obama's numbers on deportations and police funding are analogous with Trump's police funding being slightly higher, Biden's numbers on both are a goddamn rocket and his weaponization of covid laws like title 42 to cover his deportation numbers is beyond disgusting
And Biden let the child tax credit expire and his infrastructure investment is a shell game for corporate handouts, actual construction in low income areas is not taking place, and to pretend the man who forbade the rail unions from striking is a friend of labor is ludicrous on its face
The meme is pretending Trump was worse
