Post in this thread to toxx your account for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 US general election! Ground rules:

FOR gently caress'S SAKE, DO NOT POST IN THIS THREAD UNLESS YOU ARE WILLING AND EAGER TO RISK GETTING BANNED
ANYONE WHO POSTS IN THIS THREAD FOLLOWING THE OP WILL BE BANNED IF HILLARY CLINTON DOES NOT WIN IN NOVEMBER.*
While technically the primary season is still on at the point that I post this, it's pretty clear that Bernie is not going to take the Democratic nomination. However, if some bizarre socialist miracle should occur and he emerges from their convention as the party nominee, I'll declare a mulligan and remake this thread.
For those of you who're already greasy in anticipation of toxxing for the yuuger, more luxurious candidate whom the GOP hasn't been able to avoid nominating, you should instead post in the Trump Toxx thread, administered ~~more or less ably by Boosted_C5~~ by Baloogan, since Boosted's turned into a big ol' hatphobic wuss and run away. Attempting to toxx for Trump in this thread is a bad idea, and will likely result in probation or preemptive banning, depending on the post in question and my fickle mood.
There will probably also be a toxx thread for third party no-hopers, though honestly I can't imagine anyone really cares outside those sadly deluded souls who want Bernie to throw away everything he's won so far on a hopeless vanity run as an independent.
Unlike the Primary Toxx thread, feel free to blather on at as much length as you like about why Hillary is the best thing ever or at least marginally more acceptable than the alternative. You're all doomed anyway if she loses, so go nuts.
In the Primary Toxx thread I banned conditional toxxes as it would lead to all sorts of weaselly bullshit, but since we've split the general into two separate threads, I think betting on additional punishments beyond the standard ban is acceptable. To be clear: no matter what anyone says, a basic ban is always in the cards if Hillary doesn't win, but if you want to up the ante, I won't stop you (unless it's dumb and/or not funny).

Have fun!
_{*excepting the occasional rules modifications and IK challenges that may appear, provided they're necessary and/or funny.}

To stay alive, you have 24 hours to do one of the following:

1:

post pics of you in a Hillary signature pantsuit.

2: Post a substantial response about how Hillary is actually the most revolutionary choice in this election within the Marxist framework of your choosing. Your response must include specific, cited references to cattle futures, Travelgate, and Whitewater.

I can't speak for Boosted in the Trump thread, but this will stay my hand for the moment.

EDIT: For the sake of this challenge I grant you temporary dispensation to post again in this thread, just once.

Your account is in danger of banning right now,
But you can avoid it, and I'll tell you how.

An immigrant policy post is required,
And it must be inspired, and surely not tired!

For Trump or for Hillary, or both if you please,
Whichever agrees would be the bee's knees.

You've 24 hours to post, and what's worse,
It all must be written in Seussean verse.

So go now, and post now! Make haste now young man,
Oh the things that you'll do to avoid being banned!

Doesn't posting in this thread automatically toxx you?

For a regular ban, yes. Some Hillary toxxers have been all full of beans lately for some odd reason, and have decided to go all-in on permaban toxxes, which I'll allow because it's funny and it'll be a nice consolation prize if worse comes to worst and the sweaty orange clown wins.

This would not have changed my decision to perma-, but I'm just curious. What if Hillary has a massive heart attack tomorrow and dies? Are we still on the hook? I figure its probably good to be clear about the crazy scenarios now, before they happen.

All right, I'll weigh in on this hypothetical since you're not the only one speculating on it: Under those circumstances, presuming the party then gave the nomination to the Bernman, I'd do as I said in the OP and just close the thread. If, I dunno, they were to draft Biden or something, all bets are off, chaos reigns, etc.

Once the convention has passed, you live or die as does her campaign.

I'm probably going to stop handing out gang tags for perma-toxxes after the Democratic Convention next month, both to give those who got in early something to brag on (or mourn, as the case may be) and also as I don't want to trigger a stupid bullshit arms race between the toxx threads.

There's another batch awaiting approval at the moment, and I think your's is among them.

Peztopiary posted:

I imagine if you did something funny/entertaining or an IK challenge that'd get you one. Seriously, permatoxxes in this cycle aren't particularly risky.

To be honest? I try to go sparingly on the IK challenges as it's hard to make them funny enough to warrant actually doing, and then often the target just decides to eat the ban anyway like my Dr. Seuss one.

Agreed though that perma-toxxing for Hillary isn't that much of a risk at the moment, and doesn't seem likely to ever be all that much of one as long as the orange man clown keeps insisting on running a vanity campaign.

I like that.

Also, it appears e_angst's AV/text got messed up due to the gang tag.

Thanks. He double-toxxed but Boosted apparently declined to ban him for it, and I didn't feel like thinking up an IK challenge.

e_angst posted:

drat, just noticed that. That AV is pretty ancient. In fact, I got it for being in favor of gun control in D&D back when that forum had a lot more libertarian/right wing posters.

Some of the older avatars appear to go FUBAR on us when we submit a title change. I'll see what I can do to fix it.
