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

Yeah ok fuck it whatever you're right, Kamala is going to win all 50 states so hard that they make a 51st state called Harrison which she also wins, good job libs
I've been saying since right after Trump's assassination attempt that I don't think he's got the juice anymore and Kamala's basically unable to lose but these people genuinely make me hope just a little bit that I'm wrong
I just hope they both lose.
Here's how nobody can still win
Blue Texas !
Harrison getting electoral college votes before Puerto Rico would be pretty unsurprising but it would still be so silly
I can already hear reddit.
Look, Harrison is kinda weird. It's roughly the size of Liechtenstein so it's really tiny and it's today old. But it was a historical region that happened to be divided. It spanned most of two counties one of which happened to be in Vermont and the other in New Hampshire. They speak English there and to be blunt - they're mostly white. So Biden made it a state with the extraordinary official act powers given to the Office of the Presidency by the Supreme Court
Aaron Sorkin's Harrison is going to be a 12 part HBO Max miniseries. There's more. It's a natural that an unincorporated community in new state gets to vote first. I'm all in favor of Harrison's Whitey's Knob being the first place in the nation to vote in 2026 because it was placed officially in the ET+1 time zone. This will help the dems not only in that year but in 2028 which is - duh, the most important election of our lifetime. The Hollywood buzz is that musical Whitey's Knob by Lin-Manuel Miranda is indeed going forward. All of this stuff shows the power of American democracy.
But ya gotta cool your jets on your wish list. Biden can't just do anything he wants via his official acts power. The situation in Puerto Rico is complicated and nuanced. They got a different culture there and they speak Spanish. It's been a country/state territory thing for a very long time so it's unrealistic for Biden to...
