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
They said things like this about Hillary too and still beat her (through the electoral college). It’s gross stuff but their base have no problem with it and sadly it’s not enough to turn everybody off.
The most effective attacks on Hillary were over NAFTA, voting for the Iraq war, and a general sense of her entitlement and criminality, and Trump still lost the popular vote. The electoral college advantage Trump had in 2016 has almost certainly been erased by the Dobbs decision, as the 2022 midterms showed. I'm not saying it's 100% that Kamala will win, but 2016 isn't necessarily a guide here.
I agree for sure
Tbf, Hillary already had all kinds of baggage, and the republicans had spent the better part of two decades spinning up shit about her. Pelosi running would be a better equivalent to Hillary, imo. It was a huge, huge risk basically for no benefit besides for the Clinton's own vanity/glory.
True, I agree
