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

Several infamous mass shootings that people still talk about today happened under the Obama administration. Biden hasn't done shit about the environment and it's gotten even worse under him. Most of this is already happening and not changing anytime soon at the federal level.

To have mass shootings or responsible gun control?

Besides the fact that gun control wouldn’t eliminate all mass shootings, it’s readily apparent that gun control is an issue that Dems make just enough political theater out of to keep the donations rolling in but don’t actually put any political capital on the line to make a reality, except in deep blue states.

Do you want your Saturday night entertainment to be mandatory attendance at this week’s book burning?

Ugh, this kind of hyperbole backfires, because if you propose that the opposition is going to do something so far beyond what they’ve actually put on the table, it makes voters cynical that you’re just fearmongering.

Libs are getting very desperate. Biden isn't a good candidate and they know it.

vote libs when they are forbidden from voteing in a competitive primary:

Religious oppression or individual freedom

What have the dems done against that?

Free Ukraine of Communist[sic.] Russia

To improve working conditions for the worker [...]

Biden on billionaires: "The folks at the top aren’t bad guys. I get in trouble in my party when I say wealthy Americans are just as patriotic as poor folks. I’ve found no distinction."

I'm sure this guy (with 230 billionaire backers) will stand up for the proletariat.

To protect the environment or let corporations pollute without repercussions

2023 was the first time in the anthropocene that global average temperature exceeded 2C above preindustrial average. He's doing great.

To decide if you want an abortion or let the state decide for you.

Joe Biden famously codified roe into law which is why it exists today. Thank God we voted blue.

To have mass shooting or responsible gun control

The US had 647 mass shootings in 2022.

To be taught the history of America or just the white racist version?

Biden hasn't made any laws or executive orders pertaining to curriculum.

Do you want to restrict your right to vote [...]

The American electoral system is broken beyond repair. There is nothing he could do to fix it. Also, Biden literally needs to sign a single document to make election day a national holiday and allow people to vote more easily. He just doesn't care.

Do you want Saturday night entertainment to be mandatory attendance at this week's book burning?

That's why you should vote for someone who will do nothing to stop fascism, because he only serves to benefit from it.

Are all democrats pro choice? Honestly if so then that would maybe be the only reason I’d vote democrat if I were in the US. Not being able to legally get an abortion is scary as fuck to me.

Given they never tried to codify Roe into law, I would actually argue that all Dems are anti-choice.
