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

jokermala I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for.

She’ll distance herself from a single comment from Biden about Trump supporters but not distance herself from Biden’s genocide in Gaza, got it.

[–] Hatandwatch@hexbear.net 66 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

One is a "civility issue", which is supremely important, the other is "international human rights" which is color coded and unimportant. Please stop losing sight of what could complicate Harris' legendary candidacy.

[–] Sickos@hexbear.net 38 points 2 weeks ago

Really does highlight that the only real problem libs have with trump is that he's rude (which was also their loudly stated problem with punished-bernie back in the day, even though he wasn't)

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

One group is eligible to vote for her (they won't lmao, but what if they did?)

The other can't

[–] JohnBrownsBussy2@hexbear.net 70 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

So, if I understand the message from liberals correctly, if you don't vote for Kamala you're implicitly endorsing the end of democracy and human rights in America, but if you vote for Trump you're not a bad person?

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 50 points 2 weeks ago

It depends. If you refuse to vote for Kamala as a minority, that is basically a vote for Trump, therefore you're a bad person. If you're too racist to vote Kamala right now so you're thinking of voting for Trump, you're a good person who just needs a bit of help to see Kamala is the right candidate who will do what you want her to do, much more effectively than Trump.

Leftists who don't vote for Harris are supporting a fascist and threatening democracy and deserve what's coming to them, but Republicans who gleefully support the person they call fascist are actually good people.

This shit is so funny

Trump voters are garbage lol

Old Man Biden finally dropping some truths. Hopefully he just goes completely unchained in his lame duck

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 34 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

His unchained might be starting war with iran or russia out of spite sadness-abysmal

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I was hoping it'd be more along the lines of calling Bill Gates a pedophile

[–] miz@hexbear.net 23 points 2 weeks ago

he'd say it as a compliment

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 29 points 2 weeks ago

You know a the-democrat is in late stages of cognitive decline when they lose their civility fetish.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 18 points 2 weeks ago

Please give us legit Dark Brandon. I need this in my life.

[–] vegeta1@hexbear.net 44 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Its hilarious how outraged Republicans got about this when trump calls large groups of people garbage or other disparaging terms almost every day

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 32 points 2 weeks ago

anti-cracker-aktions immediately jump at the chance to feel persecuted

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago

Trump: "Democrats they're destroying the country, they're all communist pdfiles"

Democrats: "wow he's so uncouth but we won't kick a media storm over this!"

[–] Parzivus@hexbear.net 42 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

She spent all that time sucking up to conservatives just for Biden to call them all trash. Extremely funny way to lose

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Her fucking fault she had like a 15 point lead when they were calling chuds weird fascists then she did the usual lib bullshit of sacrificing literally every other voting block to appeal to the mythical "moderate republican"

At a certain point doing the same thing over and over again loses the generosity of the benefit of the doubt.

Like literally it's (poorly) in response to somebody calling all of Puerto rico garbage.

"Puerto Rico isn't garbage and if you think it is you're garbage" is the exact kind of thing dems should have been saying for 10 years at this point.

As I've been saying for years and getting frustratingly vindicated constantly, these civility fetishists are gonna get us all fucking killed.

[–] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

I don't think that 15 point lead was ever going to last. That was the lead when the country saw her as "Generic Democrat that isn't Biden."

[–] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 35 points 2 weeks ago

The opposition party has joined the fight against fascism voters on the side of fascism voters

[–] combat_brandonism@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago

literally her only chance to win at this point is centering the garbage patch shit, she should be thankful Trump's doing it for her lmao

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

let-them-fight but for chuds, Trump, Biden, Kamala, and libs

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago
[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 20 points 2 weeks ago

Gotcha, then they will have no problem with us voting Stein and De La Cruz, right?

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 18 points 2 weeks ago

Wasn’t Biden doing a lot of the same in 2020? I remember him doing the whole “unity” thing then and getting praise for it.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Trump [seized] on the furore by getting into a garbage truck as he campaigned in Wisconsin, saying: "Biden should be ashamed of himself."

Donald Trump boards garbage truck to draw attention to Biden's remark - YouTube

0:14 Not strong and powerful.

0:27 "How do ya like my garbage truck?"

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Trump: I will use the military to crush the left. Immigrants are criminals.

MSM: 🤷‍♂️

Biden: MAGA supporters are garbage.

MSM: 😱

Honestly Trump supporters are garbage and Dark Brandon should lean into it.

[–] HelltakerHomosexual@hexbear.net 15 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)
