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

Why ask this 3 years into his term? The answer is obviously 'no he could not'

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

Runaway inflation on all inelastic goods, rent, and homes is a sort of transformation, i guess?

I love this sentence because it implies Biden is the new, new deal

These folks are quite self-deleuded.

What if Biden... was the next FDR? Whoa..

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

FDR created the CCC, the most impact Biden could do is if he tanks the US' credit rating to CCC

Could my ass turn into one of those planes from Tailspin? Maybe, we will never know because, like Biden, I will not make the attempt.

Back in November 2020 i read a longish article on Biden that argued "... he plans so many progressive programs, he might end up transforming capitalism". Well didn't he.

Coulda’, wouldn’t’a, did not.
