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

Y'all went with the old white man, instead of the old white woman who posed as a Native Americanmaybe-later-kiddo

As a white liberal I support land back and by land back I mean making Elizabeth Warren president

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 35 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Look, Warren being a former republican just means she might attract more middle-of-the-road (read: uninformed suburban fascist) voters!

[–] riseuppikmin@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Warren is running on the real issues that liberals face and her foundational plan for them has never been more apparent than her Bring Back Brunch policy set.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 54 points 4 months ago (2 children)

wait they think Warren bombed because of Bloomberg???

[–] Greenleaf@hexbear.net 71 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It’s worse, they think Bloomberg entered the race to stop her and not Bernie.

[–] GoebbelsDeezNuts@hexbear.net 56 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Even crazier is that's why Warren was there too.

she was playing 4d chess the whole time.

y'all used three times in two sentences by the whitest person you've ever seen

Yup its Warrenposting time

Isn't ya'll more a regional dialect thing or am I mistaken?

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago

It’s part of some regional dialects, yes. But it’s also an affectation that people have picked up from being online a lot. Some people also recommend it as a gender neutral variant of “you guys”.

[–] pudcollar@hexbear.net 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

ya'll is a misspelling of y'all

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

I do more typos than a slashfic.

[–] BakerBagel@midwest.social 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Sorry you hate gender neutral pronouns.

Wtf it's not just a black person thing it's southern lmao

You're like violently wrong

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

I'm not saying the use of y'all is blackface, I'm making a comparison to show that what the dumbass above said is the exact same kind of obvious bullshit deflection these people use when they're acting in snide bad faith and want you to know it. They always try to sound folksy and relatable to give a tissue-thin veneer of humanity to their horribly inhuman ideas. "Y'all could've had a girlboss who gives the police more robots!" And then when you call them on it it it's all "Oh, why do you hate (X group I'm pretending to speak for this week)?"

I def could have made it clearer that i was making an example and not an accusation, but that would have required more words than the person I responded to is worth. You on the other hand, are chill and worth elaborating to.

y'all is a Southern thing of all races...

[–] DefinitelyNotAPhone@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Glad to know every non-black person living south of the Mason-Dixon line is doing blackface for using a pronoun you don't like.

[–] Mickmacduffin@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

A lot of them are doing actual blackface though

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Are you cis? Because saying this to a non-binary person on a server where 60-70% of the users are non-cis is really funny.

[–] SwitchyWitchyandBitchy@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

They've got a point though.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

They don't. It's literally just cynically using trans people as a weapon to defend Warren from the very correct argument that they are feigning being normal and folksy. They don't actually give a fuck about trans people other than how they can wield us as a weapon to deflect with.

[–] SwitchyWitchyandBitchy@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Idk if i've just been included in "you guys" one too many times or what, but I don't wanna discourage people from using gender neutral pronouns. Also, y'all is just subjectively objectively the best way to refer to a group of people other than "you fuckers". Besides, it's not like we are short on reason to make fun of Warren and her Stans.

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 38 points 4 months ago

Nobody went with anyone in the glorified build-a-burger contest the dems put on in 2020. Bernie was breaking records and then everybody dropped out to endorse 5th place Biden for Super Tuesday if memory serves.

[–] SwitchyWitchyandBitchy@hexbear.net 37 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure Bloomberg lit half a billion dollars to stop the clear leader in the primaries at the time: Bernie.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

America can't even have someone who barely counts as a socdem in power.

Awful country.

Pls send help 😭

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 34 points 4 months ago

I don't think I've ever seen a Warren supporter who wasn't a visibly "Let me speak to your manager" white woman.

That's the foyer in Liz Warren's mansion

[–] CantaloupeAss@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

"Judas 4 Warren" is a pretty fitting summary of her 2020 campaign

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

Is that fem-Skrillex?

[–] TemutheeChallahmet@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Horse-riding arrow shooters, even

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 30 points 4 months ago

If she punches so hard then why the fuck did she go along with the Joe Biden con and drop out of the primaries? The cognitive dissonance here is wild.

[–] ReadFanon@hexbear.net 30 points 4 months ago

There's a reason why nobody will let Elizabeth Warren cook. Here's the result from the last time people let her:

No for sure THIS left punching reach across the aisle ghoul would have saved everything. Just one more bro, this one is the ONE seriouslyyyyyy!!

Something fundamentally wrong with an enormously share of the American populations pattern recognition

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 24 points 4 months ago

Ah yes, the known liar definitely wouldn't have lied about what she would do while in office.

[–] TemutheeChallahmet@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I think if you believe this glasses eyed old lady college professor could win against Donald Trump, you live in a complete echo chamber and have zero non-PMC friends. Christman was right when he said Warren was the candidate for Millennials who made it, and this is why her whole core was second gen Asians and celebs in their 30s or younger. They fucking deified her and SNL gave her one of the most venerating sketches I have ever seen, as a cold open! Warren was like the NFT of the lib media class, extremely limited in appeal, but that appeal happened to be centered around culturally insular people at the levers of power.

[–] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 14 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The main thing I associate with Warren (other than the warren-snake-green stuff) is that indignant, "upset old-lady" face that she'd do if anybody tried even the weakest "gotcha" comment on her. She'd look so strangely hurt by their remarks. Made her look weak, imo.

[–] TemutheeChallahmet@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I remember them hyping her up as Hillary's attack dog against Trump, only for her to fall into his trap of taking a DNA test and getting called Pocahontas for life

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago

I voted for a latina in 2020. I did more intersectional allyship than this lady.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Is the KHive or whatever still active? That was even more baffling.
