Everybody pretending like they live in a swing state. A handful of states and about 10% of the population are going to determine the president while the 90% of us scream into the void

I had some redditor with serious voter brainworms tell me last cycle I had to vote for Biden despite living in a Dem stronghold because it would somehow make it harder for Trump to rig the election? Like if the election is rigged I'm just gonna vote for La Riva so I can sleep at night, thanks.

I think the logic there is "look at how many more votes Biden got, he clearly won" as if the nationwide vote count means literally anything.

you remember how they said Hillary won the popular vote and Trump apologised and made her president

And i also remember when Al Gore became president and didn't invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. Or maybe it was Kerry and continuation of both wars. Seriously USA politics is so interchangeable and repeatable that names and dates blurs as fuck.

Lol they don’t determine shit. 270 guys will determine the president, and they don’t even have to vote for their own party’s nominee.

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
