    None of the people I call tankies are left. All tankies are conservatives.

      Yes, yes. Everyone to your left is all the way to your right. But not like the actual right. Wouldn’t want to compromise with them.

        The actual right. They’re MAGA, not even basically MAGA but Tankies endorsed Trump directly.

          The actual right.

          If they’re the actual right, you’d capitulate to them and call it compromise.

          Tankies endorsed Trump directly.

          Did they?

            1. The DNC as a whole is consistently opposed to the GOP, congress has never been more of a ideological partisan divide than it is today.

            2. Yes

              The DNC as a whole is consistently opposed to the GOP

              On paper. In campaign ads.

              congress has never been more of a ideological partisan divide than it is today.

              Remember this when democrats cave on ICE and give Republicans their DHS funding.

              Yes

              I mean, when you interpret any criticism of any centrist as a direct endorsement of trump like you do, maybe. But that’s just as dishonest as your repeated shameless lie about only having 48 senators.

        Progressives. Supporters of a system in which all people are equal and autonomous but under the requirement that all harm one inflicts on another is averted via peaceful resolutions. Industries get regulated and wealth gets taxed. Prisoners never work unless it aids in their reform. The environment gets protected. All real power is held solely by the citizenship as a whole and an evenly spread body of representatives with checks and balances.

        Examples of progressives: DNC, most of Europe, doctors without borders, MLK Jr, etc. I’m especially fond of Switzerland.

        Opponents: Conservatives; Dictatorships, Fascists, Russia, China, racial and theological supremacists, proxy wars in the Middle east and South America where aforementioned states prop up puppet states leading to infinite indirect conflicts between the east and west. They even run election interference and psyops in the USA in order to weaken democracy and elect people like Trump. They wish to return to the old days of Autocracy and a clear divide between the elites and the peasants.

          So communism

          Also while all these sound good , I do not believe citizenship should be able to own private property or capital .

          Examples of progressives: DNC, most of Europe, doctors without borders, MLK Jr, etc. I’m especially fond of Switzerland

          Besides MLK and DWB none of these are left wing lolol . most of Europe is social democratic and rely on imperialism to fund their bullshit . Imperialism is inherently anti left

          In what world are the DNC leftist lmfao, they are center right

          where aforementioned states prop up puppet states leading to infinite indirect conflicts between the east and west

          “East and west” 🤨

          Also are you saying Russia and China are responsible for the USA’s wars? Lmao

          They even run election interference and psyops in the USA in order to weaken democracy and elect people like Trump.

          Based , destroying america

          Jokes aside your “democracy” was created by white slave-owners and enslaved black like chattel. Then you you people murdered socialists and communists around the world . how is that democratic? Killing communists and replacing them with fascists?

          America does not deserve to exist and good riddance it is dying

          They wish to return to the old days of Autocracy and a clear divide between the elites and the peasants.

          Holy lib 😭 read marx lmfaoo

              I’m not a yankee like you so gtfo with “MAGA”. Yes bro, I’m the right winger you’re the left winger, liberals are the true leftists

              Also “Right Wing Maga Tankie” is so unbelievably funny and it’s even better that you are being fully serious
