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

MODERATORS
The politician from Ohio is so concerned about making sure people have children. Normal people might remember Ohio as the state that rejoiced over the miracle of a pregnant 11-year-old.
Kamala could gain points with normal people (including surrounding swing states) just by mercilessly dunking on Ohio until November.
Making your entire campaign about shitting on your opponent for being from Ohio will always result in a 49-state victory, with the opponent pulling a Mondale Special
And of course, the one state the opponent wins is NOT Ohio.
Ohio doesn't make bright people. I got family there. I'm probably among the smartest in my family and that isn't saying much. I have a cousin in Ohio that is in a union and argued with me one time that unions aren't socialist because he pays dues. That was his reasoning. Not a single wrinkle is that man's brain.
Capitalism is when workers pool their resources to bargain with their bosses collectively
Yeah, kinda. On paper, this is how Capitalism works
tbf, trade unions were among the fiercest enemies of early European socialist parties since they have a well defined place in the Capitalist system. Unions are not needed in a liberated society
Here's another bad thing about Ohio:
[CW: Meat] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skyline_Chili
That shit isn't even chili. And it isn't spaghetti sauce either. It's the food equivalent of a "taint".
I wandered around drunk at 2 AM in Cincinnati and couldn't find any; that's the real crime
I think Skyline is good, actually, but I always appreciate when people bag on Ohio.
Yeah, he's one of those quiverful (but tech rather than church) guys iirc
