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

where's that yu-gi-oh meme where a guy says a vote for a third party is a vote for trump and then yu-gi-oh pulls a card out that says a third party vote is a vote for biden and then the dude recoils at this epic comeback

this kind of thing hasn't worked for me because I think liberals can't fathom someone voting for Trump. They think of conservative voters like a tornado or gravity, like it's an inherent feature of nature that can't be fought or bargained with. They only see room to gain ground among leftists.

and conservatives don't believe their candidate wins through voting, but rather through divine appointment, so nothing is gained by threatening to sit out a vote

Why is it that Americans always act like this? Do other countries with two main parties do this? From my own personal experience, I've never been shamed by a labour canvasser like that, but it might be a case that they're like this elsewhere in the UK.

Also some quick maths:

not voting is a vote for Trump

not voting is a vote for Biden

Therefore, by voting twice you've committed voter fraud.

Estimated 66.6% of eligible voters voted in 2020

Therefore ~a third of Americans commited voter fraud.

And the Biden administration claims that election wasn't rigged?
