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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
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

MODERATORS
What gets me the most is that these people don't have a platform. Kamala is the 3 years of small business ownership in an underprivileged city gets a mail in rebate on student debt woman. I don't know who the fuck Liz Cheney is. It smells like corpo brain the way that this person believes that problems can be solved by some superficial aesthetic change.
You don't fail your elected leader, they fail to serve your interests. If we all want the country to go bankrupt because we feed children too good, your job is not to tell me that it's a bad idea, your job is to do it or lose to someone who would feed them better and go bankrupt faster.
At least normies will clock Kamala as some sort of modern, non-white telegenic girlboss politician in passing, the way they'll mentally peg John Fetterman as some rugged guy, Warren as some professor lady, AOC as some young firebrand.
Liz Cheney however occupies absolutely zero space in the public's mind as anything, and her celebrity is exclusively the concoction of the centrist and neocon media anchors who still remember and care about Dick Cheney, and thinks it somehow matters that his daughter occasionally adds one Republican vote to another doomed bill to prosecute Trump. Cheney herself cannot capture any organic public interest, and any coverage she gets is due to either the cable news hosts mentally masturbating about her across the aisle commitment to "norms," or Donald Trump seeing these news bits, getting mad, then calling for his hogs to find and kill her.
Then even if one grants the lib the full sociological ground (which is an absurd thing to do), this is still a bad idea because how is this nobody going to match up against Trump? Trump could throw some red meat to his base with the MyPillow guy or throw some red meat to the politics freaks with Senator Ted Lasso who went to Mexico when it got cold and they'd eat that shit up. Any moderate republican would see Ted Lasso as the unity ticket between 101.5% Hitler and the establishment politicians.
It would be fitting because Cruz joining as VP after Trump called his wife ugly and said his dad killed JFK would signify the final submission of evangelical and bowtie Republicans to Trump
