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
No way a PR team wrote "I JUST GOT IMPEACHED FOR MAKING A PERFECT PHONE CALL"
Do you think Pokémon Go To the Polls was off the cuff too?
That line isn't so bad, all things considered.
I don’t think so. Before that there were a series of memes calling her a tryhard appealing to the youth. I don’t remember if she nae nae’d and whiped on Ellen before or after the Pokemon speech, but yeah, the zeitgeist was calling her old and her advisors likely leaned into it.
Yeah, I'm just saying advisors and PR teams make dumbass mistakes too.
