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

I've always said I was going to be so pissed if this is how we get our first female president. It would be way cooler if someone got in on their merits, instead of through the backdoor of the dying president.

Something about that cheapens the whole thing even more than it it already is. Which I didn't think was possible.

Trump being president should have opened so many peoples eyes to the fact that presidents are fucking meaningless.

Well, yeah. It's not.like anyone good is ever going to be president.

It's just "more female war criminals!"

That's basically how Canada got their first female PM, in the 90's their PM died or resigned or some shit so she became PM for like 4 months
