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

"why won't they vote for us? we keep insulting them, acting against their best interests, and most importantly we aren't republicans."

[–] [email protected] 65 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This "Lesser Evilsm^tm^" has always been the main Democrat appeal. But it has been amazing once Trump became the Republican nominee in 2016, how thoroughly the Democrats embrace the belief "we are the party without Trump, how dare you ask for, or have any standards, other than that"

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago

Yeah, it used to be the main appeal, then it was the only appeal. Now its just brump all the way down

"Vote if you want your rights!"

Okay, I'm voting for the American Commonwealth Liberation Party.

"NOOO! That's a vote for Trump!"

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Right up there with "vote for your preferred candidate in the primaries but if they don't win you have to support rhe dem candidate"

cancels the primaries AGAIN

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

Listen, Shadow Inc said I need to support Pete Buttigieg so why are you yelling at me for writing in Mayo Rat?

I thought you didn't want Trump to win.

"I can't believe our strategy of repeatedly and explicitly saying we don't care about their concerns and won't modify our platform because of them isn't working"

28% of Gen Z adults identify as LGBTQ

Over 70% of that 28% say they've faced homophobic discrimination or hostility

4% of boomers and 4% of silent generation identify as LGBTQ

Liberals: "why won't the gayest generation vote for my flavor of geriatric homophobes?"

[–] [email protected] 54 points 9 months ago

LGBTQIA+ is the hottest new brand

LGBTQIA+ is a key voting demographic

LGBTQIA+ is an important ad target

LGBTQIA+ is made up of atomized individuals

Holy shit I thought you were cherry picking lmfao

[–] [email protected] 43 points 9 months ago (1 children)

These have to be bots. I'm going dead internet theory on this one

Yeah, no way YallaHammer's wasn't written by a shitty gpt

prove it in November

Prove that they're queer?

"If you ain't voting for Biden then you ain't queer!"

Putting my vibe in with Biden

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Welcome to Biden's Bi-Den where all the bi-kin hang with their bi-friends.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 9 months ago

Wow. It actually got worse since my post. That's incredible.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Definitely the type to brag about the black vote while making sure they never drive towards black-majority areas.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

"Idk this looks like a pretty rough area" immediatly after seeing a normal black person walking down the street

Please make the pronouns one a site tagline

[–] [email protected] 51 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The LGBT queue one too, I think the person who wrote that thought Hillary saying "Pokemon Go to the polls!" was endearing

[–] [email protected] 29 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If "Pokemon Go to the gulag" isn't a site tagline already, it really should be.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 9 months ago

The original quote is already a tagline

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago

Nah it's transphobic, bad vibes

[–] [email protected] 43 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I hate woke homophobia so much.

Ok, we did vote, and guess what? Our right to living ain't exactly popular so we lost. Now what, smart guys?

you guys need, you--you... please, you all need to, to, everyone pokey mon... pokeymon queue for the polls

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago

LGBTQueue for the polls is unironically very funny.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

yeah I'll start voting once the harm reduction candidate starts doing actual harm reduction

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

This is the most wild thing to me.

If Biden announced the most simple of measures like opening abortion clinics on federal grounds in hostile states (not saying this is the only thing, just the first thing that came to mind) I'd probably vote for him, but that requires him, you know, ACTUALLY FUCKING DOING THE HARM REDUCTION.

"Young people today wanna complain about how tough they have it, give me a break. No, no I'm serious inhave zero sympathy." - president Biden

Also love this quote because it's the best example of snopes being totally full of shit. They rate the claim he said that as false. Their justification starts with the sentence "while it is true that Biden did say that...... that's not what he meant"
