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

How are they trying to turn this stupid thing around.

A: It's either bernie or bust
B: It's not bernie
A: OK, bust it is, then
B: Welcome to bust
A: Yeah, that's what i said, idiot

What's next, going "welcome to barbarism" at random socialists?

Liberals love jerking off about democracy but get so pissy when people don't vote for their terrible candidates. I thought democracy meant you had the freedom to choose? (Rhetorical question)

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

You're right and the worst part is, they get pissed off at us and not, you know, the people who are voting for the guy who's the second coming of Hitler in their minds? Why are we the ones who committed a great evil by wanting healthcare, but not the ones that elected Trump? Shouldn't they be the ones getting an earful?

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Hahahah perish.

It will be 2016 forever.

And never you mind that the Bernie Bros, afaik, are extremely reliable voters more so than mainline democrats.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 4 months ago

She won popular vote and lost, so obviously it's just their fault not her doing less than bare minimum

[–] HelluvaBottomCarter@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

I don't get it. We didn't vote for Hillary in 2016 so that's why we had to put up with Biden in 2020? Hillary winning would have made Joe Biden not be 500 years old?

[–] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

I genuinely don't understand this. Does he not know who the president is?

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

Damn, maybe if democrats wanted to win elections they should try running candidates who don't suck

Just a thought

[–] BabyTurtles@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's true, I was a 2016 Bernie or buster that planned on giving Joe power all along because he's too old to do anything except a bit of light genocide and destroy the DNC from the inside.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Why the hell is he getting mad at us anyway? He got everything he wanted. Joe WON. Does he think the GOP would be any less dangerous if Hillary had won in 2016? Was America so frail that 2 Republican terms was all that was necessary to ruin it? And how is that our fault?

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

they think Trump is like a magic imp who was only released from his enchanted prison because Bernie tried to change things too fast, ignoring that Obama did jack shit for the previous eight years except cut black wealth in half and drone murder sixteen-year-old American citizens.

A lot of these morons think 2 SC justices on the cusp of death were all that stood to prevent America becoming a fascist dictatorship, which is hilarious on a lot of levels

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

It's like a bad fantasy trope. The old man in a robe is holding the tether of prosperity. The evil prince stabs him with a wonky mall ninja dagger, ushering in an age of darkness. Meanwhile everyone is like "yeah this sucks but what happens if that old dude had just naturally died? Is that all I had between another good harvest and ashes and bones? Some old dude not dying? This seems like a bad system."

[–] Biggay@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

Its so odd that Libs seem to think we're at the start of a fascist dictatorship in the US. We're at the end of it.

Remember when the Dems ran a problematic candidate that was under federal investigation?

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Remember when the Dems ran the spouse of the person responsible for the abject devastation of America's industrial core?

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

(CW:SA) Remember when Donald Trump (known sexual assaulter) invited the sexual assault victims of the Dem Candidate's spouse to the debates?

[–] CrispyFern@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

And I'll do it again! sicko-yes

Hey Blue No Matter Whoers

Here's Who!

Well done.

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Whoers

Had to do a double take

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago

Doesn't matter that more Bernie supporters voted for Hillary after the Primary, compared to PUMAs who voted for McCain in droves because Hillary lost to Obama in the primary. They will always punch left and blame us. FOREVER

[–] D61@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

My brother in Christ that was eight years ago and your team held the presidency for the last four.

[–] M68040@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

I want to give this sort of person a transorbital lobotomy. I saw someone bitching about Nader the other day

damn bro, you can take your legal redacted-1redacted-2 with a bump stock and quickly fix that problem by going to redacted-1redacted-2 and then getting presidential pardon. Or genocide joe can take seals, as suggested by supreme court justice and outsource that emotional labor
