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 hate how they are trying so hard to make trump out to be the "default" win that can only be stopped by active votes for biden, obviously there is worse shit going on but this "strategy" they are all collectively doing to try and guilt people into voting biden is making me lose it. They've been hammering it home so hard and completely twisted their perspective they no longer see any moral ground anywhere that isn't simping for biden. And they have obviously worked themselves up like this so they can place blame at the feet of anyone but biden if trump wins. The shitstorm of rage directed ENTIRELY at third partys and non voters if trump wins is going to be ridiculous, as though there wasn't 50% of americans that directly plan on voting for the fucker.

Voting third party is not support for trump in any way

Not voting is not support for trump in any way.

Voting for someone who doesn't win is not a "wasted" vote

No voting strategy, including reacting to the spoiler effect, implies a moral choice.

If a vote is a choice no one is obligated to vote at all, no matter how mad that makes libs

I just need to keep repeating that stuff to myself for my sanity...

We are dealing with people so neck-deep into Hitlerian moral calculus where they’ve decided that genocide is acceptable in return for (illusory) personal security. Go ahead and vote for 99% Hitler you fucks, see you on the same train they’ll put us all on to the camps. We’ll have plenty of time then to entertain your stories of masterful practicality.
