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

OK who let the DNC get a lemmy.world account

Sorry, it can’t be tankies all day every day.

lemmy.world is of course famous for its high ML population, unlike the liberal website hexbear


Clinton is one of the worst. The party went, can’t beat 'em, might as well join em.

Clinton essentially fulfilled some of the great Republican dreams of deregulation. See Glass-Stegall how he joined hands with Republicans. Which you can then fast forward to the banking and financial crisis that hit the world and screwed economies and brought austerity programs worldwide.

Dare ya to read up on all the congressional stock trading from not just Repubs but very much Dems as well.

The party went fully corporate with Clinton.

It’s not the 90s anymore. Right now the most pro-union president in history is running against a literal fascist.


I’m convinced that Lemmy is riddled with Russian bot farms trying to stir up shit. I’m mostly democrat and believe Biden is a net good over Trump, but I won’t delude myself into thinking they care about me personally. How-fucking-ever, Trump is a literal threat to our democracy and if we can’t rally against him by rallying for Biden, we’re absolutely fucked. And you morons are just giving into this extreme lefty rhetoric because of people like Hasan? That mother fucker is a millionaire and lives like one too.

Lemmy is a worse echo chamber than reddit. I was proud when I came here during the API-bullshit and supported Sync for Lemmy but I can’t do this shit any more. I’m actually embarrassed to come here and read all this anti Biden shit while you guys complain about roe v wade being overturned, billionaires (which trump made the biggest tax cuts in history to), Israel (which is somehow Biden’s fault? 🤣).

I believe this post, OP. Whether you’re trolling or not. Everyone else can go fuck yourselves. Go ahead and ban this one too, mods. Since we’re not living in an echo chamber.

It’s just so exhausting, right? Im with you 100% on this.

Suppose we survive Trump, 60-40 ish. Who comes next? Is every future election going to be a fight to keep democracy?

so close.


Don’t be blind… Every President gets more money for rich people in some way or another. Some just also try to help the little man sometimes.

All presidents kinda suck…you can’t get to that level of power without some compromise of character

liberals actually believe this and think they live in the worlds greatest democracy


Don’t forget Obama’s work on a 2015 stimulus for the international Doctors without Borders program that allowed the construction of a brand new hospital in Kunduz, saving countless lives!

For more information, Google “2015 Kunduz Doctors without Borders”

Ok but this is not balanced because you didn’t list all the great things Trump has in store:

- The definitive end of democracy
- ww3
- all money that’s left goes to billionaires
- hopefully the end of humanity
- Nobody left to incriminate him with anything
- huge wins
- nobody has ever seen wins such as this

anybody? Hello?

if liberals actually believed this they'd illegal-to-say


Don’t forget Bush the First, the former director of the CIA and his mad desire to run shadow wars to disrupt democracy in other countries in the name of American corporate interests

well thank god no other president has done anything like that


some decent comments but they're drowned out by liberalism as seen above.

Kennedy thought the solution to the Cold War was for all the countries involved to create competing hamburger chains.

Clinton was all about reducing welfare (giving money to rich people) and deregulating

Obama made it mandatory to give health insurance companies money

obama had the chance to bailout people with homes and instead bailed out banks and orchestrated the largest transfer of wealth from black america to white america in us history which is a hell of a feat for the first black president

[–] ArsenLupin@hexbear.net 16 points 7 months ago

Even Harper technically didn't fuck people over quite as bad. Yes be bailed out the banks, but people didn't lose their houses (but that is also largely the precursor to the current housing crisis in Canada so not good either).
