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

Personaly im not American.
I believe every imperialist American senetor should be put in jail at the very least for their crimes and that. That includes Bernie with his support and votes for the Afghanistan war, for the intervention of Yugoslavia, for supporting and agreeing in basicaly every Syria and Libya related action while it happened , for voting on the Iraq Budgets and the support for troop actions there and much more. Being less imperialist than the most imperialist people on earth still makes you an imperialist of the highest degree in action. If you wish severe punishment for the other senators its completely legit to wish a proportionate one to a lesser degree for Bernie Sanders and his votes and actions.
If anything reacting so negatively to the somewhat out of line "he should get shot" thing (which isnt that out of line with usual "american imperialist senators should be shot" opinions here ) and jump in to say it can only be edginess and condemnable lack of appreciation for the hero to our cause, Bernie Sanders, is what makes the american left seem less good to me.
Oh and the "we owe so much to him , he brought the socialist movement so much forward" isnt some objective truth you can just state. The degree it holds up its a material analysis that people can have validly different conclusions, especially since there still no actual large scale tangible results of the "gains"
