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

I read an article years back about a bunch of policy wonk nerds in DC running a “fantasy football for politicians” league. League members had a roster of politicians and they’d get points based on how many bills those politicians sponsored, wrote, co-signed, etc. This image is what happens when people start thinking that’s actual politics and not a game for dorks.

Isn't that basically double-dipping to pad out his resume?

I like how a good chunk of this shit expired or was only good for like a year.

i like how a good chunk of this shit is aspirational "by 2050" and will be overturned by new legislation long before then

I know, the USSR had 5-year plans with a system of democratic centralism.

amerikkka can barely make a 2-year plan with its election cycles. How the fuck can anyone believe a 25+ year plan will last?

Not if you vote blue forever!

You know when you post a research master doc and libs accuse you of “gish galloping”? This image is that, but for real.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

It's a good lesson in picking a few of your strongest points and focusing on them instead of getting sidetracked on 100 more debatable ones.

Its the difference between being a debate pervert and having some clue/interest in how to actually get a point across.

Lmao I literally just wrote that this is gish gallop myself before scrolling down, glad someone agrees.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Absolutely. The whole point is that the list look as full and insurmountable as possible. Even Biden fans’ eyes are gonna glaze over looking at this.

It got too long to post as a comment on reddit-logo

So they had to make it a JPEG and a website smuglord

Leftist meme format.

Joe Biden is pandering to the left, but little did he know, the joke is that nobody on the left reads all these cluttered text.

The font is clearly too big. There needs to be 100s more accomplishments.

I'm sure a solid 40% of that is just him telling the CHUDs to be nicer, pretty please?

Gish gallop summed up in an image.
