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.

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

michael-laugh thats the best insult I've ever heard. One of the few times an insulting comparison feels equal both ways too

They're incredibly similar assholes. Maher would 100% be a tory shithead if he were born in the UK. The fact that he is supposedly ""left"" in America is a huge marker for just how right wing the dems are.

That and the so-called left wing Dems outright saying they would have been republicans during the Reagan years.

Some so called left wing Dems literally were republicans during the Reagan years warren-snake

Maher gets liberal cred for being against hyper religious conservatives when he first got famous, but of course now that the culture has shifted a bit he's mostly against "cancel culture" meaning anyone not cishetwhite but he clings to that party affiliation because he knows the Republicans would never accept him.
