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 only must you vote, but you must vote exactly the way I tell you to or everything that happens is your fault. This is the democracy i feel is under existential threat and must be protected.

This is the democracy i feel is under existential threat and just be protected.

That is the part that gets me. If you truely feel that you are one election away from the end of democracy, then how is your system worth defending? Its already over

The US is a one party democracy: if the other guys win, then it's not a democratic outcome.

The US is a one party system but in a classic display of western decadence we have two of them
