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

These people are pathetic
It's too bad Biden was busy somewhere else when Roe v Wade got overturned.
The logic of "its an endorsement of Trump to not vote for anyone but its not an endorsement of Biden to vote for Biden because trolley problem" is absolutely fucking omniverse brain ass logic. Incredible.
And thats from someone who for a long time did see American electoral politics as basically a trolley problem. So I can totally understand how someone like that chooses to vote for Biden and doesnt see it as an endorsement of everything he does. What I cant understand is how they see it as an endorsement of Trump to NOT VOTE AT ALL (or vote third party).
They would be thrilled if a former trump supporter said they weren't going to vote. They'd be called brave and heroic.
But a leftist not voting for Biden is doing worse how? Me not voting for Biden does the same thing as a chud not voting for trump. It's the same as every other person who does not or cannot vote. But I'm somehow morally worse?
I think part of it is wanting chuds to like them as part of some weird need for approval from a patriarchal system (I will write a post about this if you ask) but another part is this belief that conservatives don't know any better. So these folks get to smugly patronize chuds and scold anyone to their left.
Because to them you being on the left means your vote should default to Democrats, so voting (or not voting) otherwise is an active choice compared to the passive “default” of voting Dem.
You would think if these people really cared about non-voters they would stop wasting their energy scolding leftists and try talking to people who might he receptive to their brand of Fascism. Log off and go talk to people IRL!
Thank you for encapsulating the priority of aesthetics in US politics.
They're literally doing the meme
