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.
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
Don't you realize that someone will win the election no matter what you do?!
EDIT New history revisionism just dropped in the comments
Yea, I definitely read the first couple paragraphs as them building their progressive bona-fides: 'trust me guys, i know my shit'. Not that mutual aid and community building aren't great and worthwhile endeavors, but they aren't the direct-action political activism implied by the pick-the-lesser-evil conclusion.
And then there's the 'please vote' framing of the lemmy repost, which is a much more black-and-white 'principled leftists say you should vote' suggestion.
Trust me I do all that shit too, don't vote for Biden
