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

Bernie and other libs: Trump is an existential threat against our democracy, this is the most important electionjon-yell

Bernie and other libs: Violence is wrong no matter who it is. Get well Trumpliberalism

[–] laziestflagellant@hexbear.net 32 points 4 months ago

The Republicans are seriously literally for realsies coming to round you up and put you in camps if you don't vote for Biden.

Armed resistance? Don't be ridiculous. As democrats we have to take the moral high ground of civility matter what 😌

WHAT ABOUT THE DEAD CHILDREN IN PALESTINE BERNIE?

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

But you're all saying its the "end of US democracy"(tm) "the most important election of our lifetimes"(tm), Trump is an "existential threat" etc.????

That last one is Bernies favorite line. So is Trump an existential threat or do you hope he recovers??? It can't be both.

[–] cumskin_genocide@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Bro they're just saying it as a troll. No one is stupid enough to actually believe any of the shit they say. People expect politicians to bullshit.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 31 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

People expect politicians to bullshit.

That makes everything they have to say okay! very-intelligent

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 29 points 4 months ago

That's part of the problem

[–] micnd90@hexbear.net 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Genocide is absolutely unacceptable

I wish the people of Gaza to stand strong, and people who have been hurt, especially the children of Gaza a speedy recovery

IS IT THAT HARD TO SAY BERNIE

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 25 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

He based his view of socialism from living on a Kirbbutz in israel for a while, so he just doesnt see palestinians as people and sees their oppression as nesecary for his "socialism"

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yep, he is a disgusting SSettler

Sanders said that in 1963 he lived and volunteered at Shaar Ha’amakim, an Israeli kibbutz near the city of Haifa, according to Israeli newspaper Haaretz, which during the 2016 presidential campaign unearthed a 1990 interview with Sanders.

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

This explains everything

[–] laziestflagellant@hexbear.net 29 points 4 months ago

It's really funny that dems will talk about how Trump will literally dismantle American democracy and disenfranchise citizens and then say this shit.

[–] BountifulEggnog@hexbear.net 27 points 4 months ago

What about social murder, bernie?

[–] Twinkletoes@lemm.ee 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Fuck trump. I’m sorry for the innocent person that was killed. That’s unacceptable. Trump can die a fiery death for all I care. Good riddance.

[–] FuckyWucky@hexbear.net 25 points 4 months ago

Probably a Trump supporter too who was killed. I don't feel too bad for them but they could've been sent to a re-education camp instead.

BERNIE THE CUCK

[–] HelltakerHomosexual@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

fucking loser

[–] brainw0rms@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago

just drop dead already old man timmy-pray

[–] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

All politics is violence.

Other people have things you want or want your things, and you persuade them with the threat or application of collective violence.

[–] Red_sun_in_the_sky@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

It is acceptable bernie, don't act fucking dumb. The thing is who dictates the violence. Shit like some random shooter is drop in the ocean compared to the violence enacted by the powers that be to keep the empire intact. For you the violence done by empire is fine and dandy. So drop the fuckin "Sir sir this is dangerous and unacceptable" act.

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

Bernie's just still upset his hired gun used an SKS to attack the congressional baseball game instead of a normal, modern rifle.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Wait, Trump was hurt? Someone hurt Trump and they didn't finish the job? Why haven't I heard of this and why did they fuck it up?

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

What a fuckin loser

[–] Shadehawk25@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would be 100% unsurprised if banon or stone set this up to give trump a boost. Dude unloads from a roof, hitting practically nobody, barely wings trump in the ear, and his secret service practically walked up there to get him down, even giving him time to give a victory fist pump? Bullshit.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

That's not how it works. The distance between where the bullet hit and his eye was less than what any human could account for when Trump was speaking. Whoever took the shot shot to kill, and if this was an op they wouldn't have let anyone else die.

I really wish the CIA heart attack gun had worked on this dumbass back in 2020

[–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (8 children)

No. Shut the fuck up.

The door of political violence in this election has just been opened and we are looking at innocent people dying.

We are already on the precipice of a civil war. Civil wars are the deadliest wars.

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 46 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

No, the deadliest wars are the ones where your country invades a random country then kills millions of civilians people for freedom and democracy

[–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee -1 points 4 months ago (7 children)

Sounds like you know fuck all about history.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What civil wars do you have in mind that rival the destruction from the war on terror? Even the American civil war, one of the bloodiest, is less than a quarter of the 4.5 million dead from the war on terror.

[–] yoink@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

ah but you fail to account for the greatest casualty of all: The Spirit of Democracy^TM^

[–] HelltakerHomosexual@hexbear.net 34 points 4 months ago

the opposite actually, you stupid fuck, she'd know more about imperialist war than the fucking worm you seem to be.

America has destroyed half the earth in its pursuit for profit, it deserves to burn for all i care. There should be lots of violence in america, though directed at fascists.

Hit that modern section. Note that most are colonial massacred done by the Spanish.

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The door for political violence in the USA has been open for more than a decade, especially since Charlottesville, and other similar events, calling for civility wont stop the right from targeting you.

Also if you ever read a history book, you would know that Civil wars are unavoitable due to the system refusing to reform in one way or another, and Biden is no fix for the US gov nor will he delay the coming violence

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 26 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The door for political violence in the US has been open since the country's founding on indigenous genocide, slave patrols, and lynchings.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago

I John Brown am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with Blood.

[–] Storm@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

The door of political violence has been open. Where have you been? The only thing surprising about this is that the stochastic terror trump fomented for years has finally affected him directly.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago

Deadliest for those living there. I'm sure most of the world would be thrilled if you fought each other instead of bombing brown people.

[–] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

Better for the yankees to kill each other than to continue their being of terror over the rest of the world. Also all politics is violence.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Yeah that happened just now, the doors of political violence were just now opened. What's that? They seem to be rusted open and covered in the gory patina of four centuries worth of nightmares? Nonsense. They just opened.

We're looking at innocent people dying

Fuck you, free Palestine.

[–] Wakmrow@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago

Yeah you better get used to the idea and you better commit to winning
