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

I agree that Biden has been shamefully complicit in the Palestinian genocide

Biden is the orchestrator of the Palestinian genocide. It was he, not Trump who called Israel the "unsinkable aircraft carrier in the middle east" Biden is much more hardened zionist than Trump. So i reject any notion that Trump would be "worse" as liberal fearmongering and deflection.

an anti-NATO,

NATO has been slowly destroying your European continent and making the EU a vassal state of the US. In just a short decade the notion of social democratic EU values was publically thrown out the window in favour of russophobia and austerity. Trump doesn't actually mean to back out of NATO but just to complain that NATO isn't robbing your little union quick enough. Enjoy the new Ukranian neonazi terrorists who will inevitably reach the conclusion that they were "stabbed in the back" once they are compelled to surrender by Russia.

anti-climate science, fraudster

Biden admin also don't believe in climate change. To them it is a wedge issue on a ballot ticket, not something to worry about. This is because the US is a capitalist system, not because the wrong walking corpse is in government.

a generic neoliberal?

Biden is not generic, he was the VP under war criminal Obama and has been in the political sphere for over 60 years. Hes the defacto ruler of the democratic party who relies on a small network of family and yes man. Trump is the outsider to Washington but managed to win because the dems boosted his campaign in the pied piper strategy of hillary. Biden is a hardened killer, sexist, racist thief. Trump is the normal one here.

ideally you would have third-party options that you could realistically elect that are not fronted by genocide supporters

Ideally we would adopt the same socialist model as China which is actually a democracy where people have a lot of say in how their lives are governed. The problem is not just the mechanics of electoralism but the capitalist system that was sustained through centuries of imperialism.
