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

Trans rights: rights to what? Medical care? Protection from discrimination? Another commenter pointed out the massive surge in anti-trans rhetoric, hate crimes, and hate laws during Biden's regime
Abortion access: Roe v Wade ended during Biden regime, no attempts made to enshrine abortion as law or protect existing abortion providers or act against state level anti-abortion laws
Environmental reform: oil & gas extraction has never been higher than under Biden, and Biden has allowed extraction on an unprecedented amount of previously protected land
Prescription reform: Insulin is price capped for some. People still die from lack of access due to cost
Loan forgiveness: What forgiveness? You'd think if people were getting their loans forgiven the regime would be blasting the airwaves about it to lock in voters that also want to alleviate their debt
Infrastructure funding: Of the billions provided, most has vanished into thin air by way of layers of consultants, corruption, and inability to manufacture anything without ten middlemen skimming. The practical result is that very little has been done, and most of it is toxic car infrastructure
Advocating racial equity: advocating something isn't the same as actually enacting laws to mandate it. Biden also advocates for Bibi to bomb less but keeps giving him more bombs
DEI: this is racial equity again
Vaccines & public health: Biden ended free vaccination programs and told the CDC to stop monitoring COVID, and has had seemingly no interest in taking preemptive action against the developing bird flu crisis
Criminal justice reform: He pardoned the like, 10 people on federal weed charges and rescheduled it down from heroin to meth level
Military support to Israel: this is bad, it's bad he's doing this
Ceasefire: He could compel the ceasefire with one phone call and hasn't done a thing beyond telling Bibi to please try to bomb fewer children, please sir
