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

not doing anything about trans genocide in florida and so on is tacit support of it
"But Biden is powerless to stop that! Also Trump would totally have the power to do it more cuz the GOP just magically has more executive power somehow!"
The GOP has shown the executive does have a lot of power, it reaffirms that Biden could do something but is actively choosing not to.
I'm not in the habit of praising Nazis.
But I do wish that Democrats had even a quarter of their "will to power". Their willingness to bend the levers of power in the direction they see fit. Their willingness to ignore norms and decorum, in order to further their agenda. The ruthless cunning, the naked real politique, The decades long plans like slowly taking over the federal judiciary.
Of course, what I'm complaining about is the system working as intended. The fecklessness of democrats is not a bug. It is a feature of the system.
