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

I agree that Biden has been shamefully complicit in the Palestinian genocide (among broken campaign promises and rightful health concerns), though I would imagine that “finish the job” Trump would be a more destructive choice.

Biden also believes in "finishing them", he just doesn't say it out loud. The Biden admin has sent an absolutely enormous amount of munitions to Israel (without which they don't have the military capacity to fight against Palestinians this long) and provided full diplomatic cover. The Biden admin has also sent boots on the groun in palestine, sending US soldiers to participate in the Nuiserat massacre.

I don’t hold Biden in the view of someone who is a champion of environmentalism or global peace, but an anti-NATO, anti-climate science, fraudster surely would be more likely to implement harmful changes that are difficult to reverse versus a generic neoliberal?

Biden is also anti-climate and anti-science. His optics are better than of Trump, but his policies aren't. The whole thing about voting for Biden wouldn't be a discussion if Biden was materially and significantly better than Trump.
