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. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

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

The Biden admin needs to launch a massive propaganda campaign against communism and fascism online. They are currently playing with their hands tied behind their backs. Spend half of their re-election budget on online trolls on twitter, reddit, tiktok to absolutely destroy anyone that pushes communism and fascism. Hit social media company owners who allow anti-western extremism to fester. Release hit pieces in the media not just against the white supremacy right, but also against the commie left.

Why would Democrats attack the far right?

That's one of the (many) problems with these clowns, they don't realize that the ideology they're espousing is already a variation of fascism

Pied piper strategy won the biggest midterm in a hundred years, but go off cause hillary lost 8 years ago or whatever

Right because that’s very important. Now that we have more progressive democrats in office after the midterm, the number of fascist sympathizers have decreased significantly? And the QAnon candidates who won in my state? They don’t exist! Only the very impactful victories matter

The Dems existing as they are is bad and their policies are bad; you don't need to pretend that are foolishly funding the far right.

I know healthcare is expensive, but surely you’re able to get glasses to see the stories written by the liberal media about their party doing exactly that which I generously appended to my OP. I don’t give a shit if they “succeeded.” What makes you think grifting fascists exhausted their funds and didn’t just keep the blank check from their democratic donors?

Wow I'm so glad Dems won, they definitely used that power to improve my circumstances and didn't just sit with their thumbs up their asses

Wow the Dems are bad at policy, I'm learning this for the first time.
