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

Didn't Obama try to do something like that in his first term? I think he called it his "Cabinet of Rivals" or some shit. It sucked.
Aren't there interviews with this guy where he practically presents himself as a machine that shuts down when it isn't doing something profitable? Like aren't there quotes from him where he talks about struggling with motivation and purpose if it isn't tied to making money? He seems almost exclusively driven by money, so I'm not sure I buy that he's not buyable.
It was a "team of rivals" and he snagged the idea from Lincoln lmao. I'm not smart enough to know for sure, but it probably sucked way back then, too
Considering how Reconstruction went with it starting shortly after his death, I'm inclined to agree.
Yes it's pure liberalism. The "team of rivals" only worked because Lincoln held them together and they (the rivals) had a mutual enemy in the confederacy. It's basically that centrist meme about planes with both wings on one side of the fuselage "YoU nEeD bOTh WiNgS tO fLy!" horseshit. Meme level analysis and solution. Shallow as some pithy Reagan retort.
