the_dunk_tank
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

The sad thing is he's not, but what the fuck do you do in this country when your choice is two crap flavored sandwiches?
Done. Now what? Vote for the "grab 'em by the pussy" guy? This is the not a hypothetical. What the fuck can I really do to effect change? Because it is needed.
e: Full disclosure, I voted for Biden because he was better than the alternative (bad vs worse). Now, he is directly supporting genocide and I'm faced with worse vs worse and will not vote for him again. It's easy to snark and meme behind a keyboard, but what can a regular person in this country do?
I'm sorry for lashing out...just feeling frustrated and helpless.
That kind of frustrated atomization is exactly what this system counts on to keep doing Horrors Beyond Our Comprehension. You're not alone, even though they want you to feel like you are. Find some local leftist organizations that work on things you care about, and get involved. Food Not Bombs has lots of local chapters, and is often a good place to start for folks, but there are lots of options. The point is just to connect with others and start actually working toward a better world instead of being frustrated at home.
Join a leftist org and go from there. See what else you can do. I'm sure people here would be willing to point you in the right direction wrt USA orgs.
