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

I don't have time to answer all of you but I wondered how you justified handing the election to Trump. It appears that's not just a side effect but really the goal.
You seem like the kind of guy that would say we have to vote for Hindenburg over Hitler.
Libs quit doing drive-by posting and actually defend their stance challenge.
Challenge rating: it's almost as if
They captured you in a box.
You have to look outside.
If the democratic party was at all interested in the opinion of the general public (which includes you and me), they would at least run some primaries and go through the motions of a western liberal democracy. Instead, they've decided to rerun 2020 on the hope that the bold message of "He's not Trump" will work again.
The election is in eleven months - if Biden loses the fault lands squarely on the democrats for covering their ears and saying "lalalala" any time someone suggests maybe actually doing something resembling democracy. Or hey you can continue to pre-blame the left for an election that hasn't happened yet and accuse us of actually being conservatives, certainly that will convince us to line up behind Genocide Joe.
Here I'll justify it.
I won't vote for anybody actively and enthusiastically enabling a genocide.
If that is too high a bar for dems to clear, that's dems problem not mine.
Now let's flip it.
I wondered how you justified supporting a genocide. It appears that's not just a side effect but really the goal.
your "democracy" is a sham and here's why

shut the fuck up
The last time I voted for a Democrat for President, she beat Trump by more than three millions votes then conceded, handing the election to Trump all on her own.
