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

Are the libs really trying to quote the constitution at us now? Read Federalist Papers #10 if you give so much of a shit about how the founders thought government was supposed to work.
These were people who led a revolution to replace the feudal ruling class with their own capitalist ruling class. It was literally democracy by and for the bourgeoisie. It was in their class interest for these protections to work and one of their biggest concerns was factionalism, which became a problem almost immediately and ultimately became so ubiquitous that even the most apolitical folks will complain about “division” and talk about how all the parties serve rich people.
Separation of powers my ass. Go take a look at the size of the executive bureaucracy and tell me how much you think the founders expected congress to abdicate large swaths of their power to the executive branch due to factional pressure. It’s such a bullshit argument, even from a non-leftist point of view.
