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

They really lowkey quoted Neil Peart.
This sentiment technically isn't wrong. However, it's too bad that voting for libs isn't actually going to protect any of those other groups on the Republican side of the track. They will still all suffer under liberal BS, as we've seen Biden do jack shit and even practically agreeing with Republicans on many of their oppressive stances.
They're performative as fuck and don't give a shit about the genuine liberation of POC, LGBTQ+, women, and religious minorities. Like all politicians, they want power to abuse us and will push us around if they need to do so to further their corrupt agenda. To see "leftists" actually believing that they do anything for genuine protection and promotion of the rights of the oppressed just tells me that people take the bait way too fucking hard.
They sure love this quote.
I know I made a decision. The decision is that I don't support genocide.
If that's too high a bar for dems to clear maybe they should take a look in the mirror and evaluate some of rhe decisions they made.
Like if they care more about continuing a genocide than winning an election.
