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

In America in the general election you vote for a lot more different positions than just the president. Depending on your state and locality you may have a few fresh plant-based options to choose from.

Making everything about the POTUS and only the POTUS is like only looking at the first two options on the menu and making assumptions about the last 50 items.

Wow it's almost as if politics can't be reduced down to simple personal analogies! Who woulda thunk?

That's why I don't usually like to go for analogies but since you are the analogy guy, I just built off yours.

I meant in the nonbinary sense but if that doesn't work for your identity that's my bad, my apologies.
