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

"we've been here before"

Flashbacks to 2016

And that doesn't alarm you? I can't be the only person who remembers how in 2016, the democrats refused to acknowledge any problems and instead tried to rely on republicans being unelectable while they fuckin yucked it up with Goldman Sachs and Co., can I?

Honey, no

2016 was when we could have had brunch and Orange Cheeto Mango Man came around and stole our mimosas

"Hopefully trump wins because he'll be the easiest to beat"

"Those polls saying trumps gonna win are garbage because all the respondants are old people on landlines"

"Sure everybody's saying they hate Hillary and are literally telling us they just wont vote but when the time comes they'll line up for her"

"How could anybody have possibly foreseen this coming"

Russia's too busy with Ukraine to overturn the elections this time!

This is probably r/politics, they don't remember that far back

or if they do, they just blame it on literally everything but material conditions

If by literally anything but material conditions you mean people who explicitly said they won't support neoliberal policies ahead of time.
