I'm personally all for letting people decide if they should vote, but it's entirely Biden's fault that people don't want to vote for him.

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

This movie really is absurd. Whole franchise is really just liberal panic that has little basis in reality
Also imagine seriously thinking this dystopia is right around the corner and not violently opposing it
Imagine thinking we're not already there. What, does it only become dystopian when we don anachronistic 19th century costumes? People are already being jailed for miscarraiges, the chuds are instructing state national guard formations to disobey the federal government and Joseph Robinette Buchanan isn't doing anything about it.
I mean, we've yet to see a nuke go off over Texas, so I wouldn't say its gospel
That's what they want you to think
its honestly a pretty key part of the story, the whole reason handmaidens are a thing is because most women are infertile as a result of nuclear fallout (which is unlikely anyways), and then powerful men use this as an opportunity to curtail womens rights in order to be able to have more children. the outfits are pretty silly too, ngl. its a pretty nonsensical series, really.
That's the point of fiction though, it acts as a sort of 'mirror' which makes things more evident than they would be if you they were just shown as they are. It's always a critique about the world we live in, not of a vague possible reality.
The Oryx and Crake trilogy is the good Margaret Atwood
