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
Remember that time that Hilary didn't get as many votes as Trump in 2016?
Popular vote
Trump: 62,984,828
Hilary: 65,853,514
oh wait.
Liberals unironically believe this though. They're literally rewriting history! I love/hate reminding them that, no dipshit, Trump winning wasn't a matter of not enough people voting, it was a matter of how deeply ineffectual and anti-democratic the institutions you uphold actually are.
It's just the wrong people who didn't vote, it is important to weigh votes towards ~~white people~~ suburban and rural votes and not let ~~black people~~ densely populated urban populations steer the country!
I honestly don't know how anyone can defend a system where the combined states of Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota and Idaho has less population than 3 out of 5 boroughs of New York City yet are represented by 10 senators, fully 1/10th of the highest legislative body of the country.
Surely the Dems will admit DC as a state
All the more reason to vote harder than ever before so dems get in office because the republicans for sure won't change anything about the current electoral system!!
