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

But the system is set up in a way that all votes for third party get discarded.

yea that's why you don't vote third party

[–] m532@hexbear.net 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But you said vote for the lesser evil

[–] 0laura@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 1 month ago (4 children)

when voting there's only really two options. the giga evil and the mega evil. third party would be ideal but that's basically the same as not voting at all in the current system.

What you are describing is not a democracy.

[–] m532@hexbear.net 36 points 1 month ago

Then kill the system. Kill it with fire

kinda sounds like a fucking joke that only a chump would validate

No, there's only one option if you don't live in a swing state. Did you not pay attention in social studies or something?
