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
Broke: Trump is the worst president because norms.
Woke: Buchanan or Andrew Johnson were the worst since they betrayed their country to uphold slaver power.
Bespoke: Jimmy Carter is the worst since the neoliberal turn and the Volcker Shock destroyed the economies of the 3rd world and set back the global movement towards liberation and socialism back by a 100 years.
roughly 2070s? god i hope not. i don't think we're going to make it that long into climate hell under the current system
Some of those years have a way of getting compressed down into weeks
I think you could make an argument for Jefferson, given how the Louisiana Purchase set the stage for a lot of the subsequent expansion and genocide. It's probably inevitable that America would expand to some degree, but it could have been slower if they didn't make the purchase, possibly resulting in a smaller and less powerful America.
Of course, there's also the part where he owned slaves and upheld slavery.
For the normbrained libs, Jefferson also greatly expanded the power of the executive through the Louisiana Purchase and an undeclared war in the Mediterranean. Just from a "disregarding what the constitution says" perspective he was bad.

He also raped his slaves
