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

Why don't they just focus their energies on getting new voters? 30% of eligible voters are unregistered. You could counterbalance the "lost" votes from the cocaine left and their toxic podcasts with just a fraction of newly registered voters.

What energies? They're tired and old

Those people are too alien to them since they cannot imagine not picking a horse in their two horse race. Not to mention that they know those 30% are not gonna be receptive to their shitty politics.

Because that would mean putting money and resources into local, on the ground organizing and building community connections. Can’t fit overpriced DC consultants and media producers into that equation.
