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

Well, that's more than he has ever done.
there are 3 options here
Bold of you to assume the US is my country, or that I'd want Orange Hitler to lead it if it was.
But, see, before anything else, I am a one person, with marginal zero power compared to even the Dems, yet they're the ones who have so far given zero reason to believe that they'd prevent it. Like, come on, we just came out of some spectacular election process! And second, what I'm going for is that she's showing more respect towards the process than he ever did. Moral high ground or whatever, it's just not her race anylonger. There's lots of people who can fight Trump for power, and, if you ask me, it's about time most of them stopped being lazy.
If the process brought you to this, what respect does it deserve?
Judging an entire historical process for only the worst output? You know it's the same process by which good presidents did and do get elected, right?
Peacefully handing over power to the people they've called fascists this whole time that will destroy democracy uwu! So wholesome!
Uuuuh fam, her race is joever. Always has been. Have never seen her holding a gun, let alone sharpening a guillotine. There's lots people more qualified than her to prevent Trump by using force, now that the arena she's in has failed.
And, if anything else, she's taking the gracious way out
Mate they are literally in office. They can legally drone strike Trump if they fucking want to. They're perfect happy to drone strike tens of thousands of children, but not the fascist ending america? Please think, please put the pieces together.
They do not mind that he's taking power. American democracy is kabuki theater. Either they don't really believe their rhetoric about him being a fascist intending to end democracy in america or they agree with it and are happily handing over power for that to happen - pick one. Their actions do not match the existential rhetoric.
Who's he?
What do you mean who?
...Hello? Jan 6?
Imagine caring more about Jan 6th than the thousands of dead Palestinian children
Just by the numbers libs you may be even more deranged than actual zionists who won't shut up about Oct 7th because at least those fascists have some dead bodies they can point to (of course that doesn't justify the genocide, you know the one you voted for) but you care more about muh civility than human lives
For the record I support Hamas and Oct 7th and I think Jan 6th was hilarious
Libs are reaping what they sow and you're laughing!
Imagine thinking you can read my mind, and not understanding context. Oh wait! it's 2024.
I've never implied that I care more about civility than human lives, I'm only saying it's her place to show civility now. Lots of people elsewhere to fight- oh wait! They don't care.
What would you think the overall response would be if, with so far nothing legally indicating a stolen election, Harris refused to acknowledge the results and proceed with the usual ceremony?
I would actually have respect for her.
Remarkable ability to not respond to any of the other posts
Anyway, you're happy with Trump taking power as long as it's bloodless?
Oh excuuuuuse me, princess, for not being terminally online 24/7 just to please you.
If, lacking my presence, you'd prefer to pleasure yourself, I do can suggest a few devices.
Another example of this above
democrats should be doing everything within their power to make sure "peaceful transfer of power" does not occur
If they did, they'd not be democrats. What (well, who) you're thinking of, is anarchists and revolutionaries.
Come on, try to at least pretend you're intellectually honest, we all know where the Dem party comes from.
They come from capital and ghey serve to protect capital. They have no other goals or interests other than ensuring the bourgeoisie's rule at all costs; when material conditions are declining, fascism becomes the way to ensure their power.
We know, that's why we are saying they are okay with fascists taking power.
