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 just saw some parts of Vance talking. The crowd was dead. A lady behind him was falling asleep. If anything, he's going to blow Trump's election. When someone "charismatic" like Trump says something insane, the crowd can twist whatever real thoughts they had to join in on being with him.

Vance? Watching a wet garbage bag say the dumbest thing ever might honestly be the only concrete hope the Dems have. If I were Kamala and co I'd let him yap as much as possible and then replay his most boring crappy comments over and over.

Pence was the same way. Imo Trump's VP basically doesn't matter for the election, Trump supporters are voting for Trump, full stop. Like, Trump could probably have ran with Epstein in 2016 and still won.

Probably with a wider margin, let's be real.

Epstein would've granted him a passive companion synergy bonus even.
