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

You're bringing Roe back next term, Joe?

Why not do it this term? Why are you holding women's bodies hostage for your election?

Because the president can’t actually do anything sweatie, why don’t you retake civics 101? Don’t you remember Biden’s famous 2020 campaign slogan: “I can’t do anything [except arm Ukrainian Nazis, attempt to start WW3 with Russia and China, sign oil drilling permits during climate apocalypse, undo all covid protections (except for the ones which protect me), and shrug as the right undoes Roe and Affirmative Action and god knows what else].”

The powers of the US president are whatever that president feels like they are.

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for the presidency to be based entirely on vibes…

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

The presidency has always been just vibes

Abortion is basically the democrats’ equivalent of anti gun control. Just keep dragging your base along to make them think you’re doing something, and maybe you’ll achieve something along the the way. The difference is that guns will never be banned in meaningful ways, while abortion can get you watched by the Texan Gestapo
