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

hmm, let's hear the rebuttal from the lettuce

Still crunchy.

Yeah, because the economy was doing so well under her tenure. Can't imagine even the tories are interested in what she has to say.

Literally all they can do is stop the country bare. They are completely incapable of thinking beyond their next payday. Do they honestly not consider what happens to all the hordes of discontented people they are further disenfranchising?

Rishi's rich enough to flee and live a luxurious life anywhere he wants. Liz can probably escape and find a cushy think tank position in Washington DC.

Wow! Such innovative measures! It's not like every single UK government has done that since before Tatcher

Still the best PM in recent history for assassinating the Queen.

Liz met Liz and died of cringe

Is this an elaborate BDSM ploy to get kicked to death by the entire population of the UK?

Those simpering toadies have a literal king. They'll do nothing. Maybe shine his shoes.

It's true. Over the last 20 years the quality of life in the UK (at least as I've noticed it) has decreased dramatically and people still vote these shit heels in.

The only argument they have to anything is "at least we're not Corbyn or Labour". Everyone will be eating shoe leather in freezing houses and will still be going "boy, imagine how much worse this would have been under Corbyn!"

I wish i lived in an alternate reality where Corbyn became the PM 15 years ago and wasn't ostracized instead sicko-no

We should have known that we wouldn't be able to actually vote in someone who would have changed anything for the better. Once the system is threatened everyone bands together to make sure everything stays the same. Now we've got another limp-dick Labour leader who couldn't threaten a teacup. The way all sections of the media and both sides of the political system came together to tear down one man completely destroyed the last bit of faith I had in voting.

On the plus side she's probably viewed as the least credible politician in the country now so anything out of her mouth is immediately rejected by everyone.

Typical conservative word salad 🥁
