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

Yeah, for practical purposes it’s just the two but at this point I’m getting tired of party leadership’s baffling insistence on staying the course against all good sense.

They’ve been up against Trump for eight to ten years now, and they haven’t even managed to adopt or maintain a coherent strategy. 2016 was an unpleasant surprise, yes, but they should have wised up over the next two elections. Instead what we’re getting is warmed over ‘90s politics in the face of a threat that’s been on the proverbial radar for some time now. They’re the fucking embodiment of institutional inertia. Couldn’t change to save their lives.
