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

One of the biggest critiques leftists and anti communists have for various socialist governments is that the leader stays in power past anyone’s approval and without training successors, so that leaves room for a power struggle between various factions

Here we have Biden refusing to let go or even supporting any successor who can speak competently or more popular with voters. And this is under what liberals call a transparent, democratic, free country. Their own party members are silenced because for whatever reason, Biden must win both terms. Biden’s legacy and ego are more important. Tens of millions of democrats, and only Biden meets the criteria to lead a country. Incredible.
