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

USAans hate a lot of things they say they like
Saying that you came to the conclussion that either of their hearts are in the right place, but especially trump who is the most obvious grifter in a generation is just so wildly embaressing.
That's like saying after meeting with the Santa at the mall you are now convinced it is deffinitly the real Santa.
"Hearts are in the right place" is code for "won't challenge the supremacy of money and corporate power in America". He's giving away the game because its basically an admission that either candidates agenda won't fundamentally change the status quo and so either one winning is acceptable.

People like him are the biggest indictment of capitalism. It would be one thing if the Duke Nukem's and Dr Eggman's of the world were on top. They'd have all the money to make their moon bases and obstacle courses for intrepid adventures to navigate. But it's always these fucking losers, the same pencil pushing dweebs that marked people's disillusionment with monarchy. It's not even dweebs who made the haber-bosch process, it's like a guy who privatized open source code with patent fraud or invented the cigarette. This guy would be happier having taken 6pm karate lessons at the local shopping center after being shoved in a locker instead of talking to presidential candidates.

— "Hey, what businesses do you invest in?"
— "Yes."
The (venture) capitalist endorses the candidates that promise to uphold the capitalist system?
Hey wait a fucking minute, they do police auctions for bitcoin now?
"Both candidates will continue supplying unlimited munitions and money for destroying children on the other side of the world by an ethnostate. While also suppressing labor at home at the behest of jillionaires."

Then why did you donate if you don't care who wins anyway?

Just giving nature

I had to make a double take as I first read that as “donated to both the Hamas and Trump campaigns”
That's qatar lane
I know they only endorsed the main 2, but the idea of someone endorsing every candidate in a given election is pretty chad, ngl.
I just want everyone to have a nice time! Let's have a good clean election out there.
