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

Democracy working real well for you if changing borders by a few miles here or there completely changes the outcome of a federal election huh libs. Clearly a system that fragile is worth defending with every single breath you waste!

Just make up a version of reality where we win and the rules are changed. What's the big deal?

Liberals will always lose in the end, as they are by definition, unable to think outside of the box.

Conservatives know that victory is done by moving and shaping the box.

The liberals see it and go “that’s not faaair”. But not actually do anything.

Exactly, so why do the democrats run terrible candidates if beating Trump was actually very easy? Why not just do something and be good at politics?

This is how Bernie could still win.

There’s no The Vertlartnic money in understanding the material conditions, so he’s doggedly not understanding them.

Just do some gerrymandering, but... blue

Democrat gets into power, and doesn't do any gerrymandering.

Repeat until the Democrat can no longer get elected because the GOP has taken over the entire region.
