So what is the funniest scenario for 2024. I think it would be Biden running with Hillary as his VP, then losing to Nikki Haley with Trump as her VP, running on the platform of becoming the first female president.
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
I get contention on the point of these politicians being "smart" as a thought terminating cliche. I think at some level people feel entirely comfortable not giving a fuck about what I'm saying. Which is to say that if I pushed back about this, they'd dig their heels in on the next point in my hopeless endeavor to change hearts and minds. Kissinger was not 'smart,' the fruits of his labor were millions of deaths. It's been hard to explain how someone being educated at Harvard leaves me skeptical of their credentials. It doesn't matter to me how well spoken Buttigieg is, his rhetoric is empty and his methods are status quo up-keeping bullshit. It leaves this blindspot where libs can't believe nobody else cares that Trump did documents wrong. That doesn't make the people who impeached him his intellectual superiors. Trump's (primary) problem isn't that he was dumb at the helm, but rather that he was ratcheting an austere, fascist ideology while rolling back everything that tried to protect the planet from pollution.
Hillary had a more academic debate than Trump. Do you remember anything she said? Do you remember that time Trump said that if he were in charge, she'd be in jail? She got owned.
