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
There's no fucking way he'll stay in the race now right?
They'll find a worst one if he leaves
Good. Fuckit.
They just doubled his adderall prescription
If he makes it to the election, I’m gonna write in Hillary for president
If they replace him I’m gonna write in Joe for president
Either way, I’m gonna so hard
I get this impression that in the time of Nixon and Kennedy, when the TV was just starting out, having that single moment where Joe goes to shake someone's hand who isn't there would have been damning to his whole campaign and he would have resigned and Kalamala would be president today. The CIA would have assassinated him ala Kennedy with contrived fall guys and all before they let him do a second conversation with the press where he slurs words.
Am I off base in thinking the shamelessness of politicians to blunder in front of everyone is a recent invention? When there was 1 news channel and everyone rehearsed what they were going to say before doing unspeakable evil to sow the seeds of what we reap today, it seemed like they were stricter in decorum.
Howard Dean's presidential campaign ended because he was too enthusiastic and did that yell/cheer thing. They hounded him for it til he dropped out but now bidens eye explodes during the primaries and its all cool.
