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'll always drop the exception that it's potentially worth voting in local politics, particularly in small remote communities. These vary in frequency and often don't always overlap the major elections and are largely ignored.
City and county positions can have a real tangible impact on your daily life and the amount of votes to swing these elections can be really small in a lot of America. It's still an uphill battle against landlords and small business tyrants, but it's something real local organizing can overcome.
I think the fact that you can actually organize voting at that level is often overlooked when talking about local elections.
The load-bearing word is organize. With that alone you can accomplish great things.
Also keeping QAnon freaks off of the local school board.
