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

MODERATORS
well, do you think libs seeing tweets like this will go do stuff? or do you think they'll just do even less and not even vote? I also dislike how this narrative discourages people that aren't libs from voting. you can change the system and also go vote once every 4 years, they are not mutually exclusive. my comment was more aimed at the users of this community than the libs
The truthful narrative discourages people from voting huh?
Simple fact of the matter is, Voting only works in democracies.
"You people who hate the evil empire should participate in the ritual that legitimizes the evil empire"
Liberals, every time
yea if all left leaning people just stopped voting the world would be a better place..
The US would be exactly the same as it is now. There has never been any left wing candidate allowed near the presidency.
you think Harris and Trump are identical in every way?
Trump is more senile and less capable of managing your genocide machine.
Otherwise, they are effectively the same.
You are welcome to try and explain why a second-in-command of the administration that has been continuing almost all Trump's policies is different from Trump.
Did i say that? I said leftists in the US have never had a candidate to vote for. It has always been right wing vs fascist. Blue nice fascist vs red mean fascist.
They dont have to be identical for their policy effects to be the same.
Whataboutism incoming.
I have no objections to voting in countries that are not part of the imperial core
Unironically yes
It’s funny when the vote shaming lib shows up and doesn’t even understand the local elections mean more than the presidential elections. At least my lib friends understand that aspect.
Lol idfc about Twitter libs, they don't exist materially. These people don't show up at rallies or mutual aid, none of them are in orgs. If anyone wanna argue about the virtues of voting for a blue or red fascist they can show up and talk while we do real work, otherwise they deserve less than mockery
Just change the system bro, it's so easy bro. Use the paid time off and strong public transit that I as a German assume everybody has and cast a vote for 99% hitler, as long as you live in one of the 10 states where your vote actually matters of course.
