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

And the thing is, Bernie endorsed POTUS a long time ago, but you'd be forgiven for forgetting that given how rabid some of his followers still are.

lmao

When you define the world into oppressor and oppressed and justify anything the oppressed do against the oppressor you’re going to manufacture this type of insanity. This philosophy has become extremely common in US higher education, unsurprised to see it growing elsewhere too.

This doesn’t really explain it though. Jews have been the group that has most consistently been oppressed throughout world history.

Hmmm perhaps there's something going on here that you're failing to grasp

Literally most of his followers ended up voting for Hillary and Biden lol. Who are these people mad about???

It doesn't matter what "most" of his supporters did, any number of his former supporters who didn't fall in line when he did is all that's needed to condemn the entire movement.

For fucks sake, it's not like his voters are feudal vassals he can pass on to his liege.
