It’s really an amazing world some of y’all think you are in, such a different reality. I mean I wish I lived in a reality in which the last hundred plus years of American History wasn’t liberals setting up brutal dictators to murder and destroy the leftists all around the world.
let’s be fair, sometimes it was liberals setting up brutal dictators to murder and destroy brutal dictators they’d previously set up.
and then there was that time the country wanted bananas
Must be a different reality because this seems tangentially related.
If we would have known you’d destroy yourself without our involvement we probably wouldn’t have bothered.
you’re gonna trigger them with this one llol
where are all these tankies everyone on here keeps talking about? lol
Give it a minute or two. They scour the traffic for anything tangentially related to them to get the sweet, sweet 50c per post they would get paid for.
i just like collecting stamps from all the different agencies paying me to post
The Nazi-Soviet alliance was brought up a bit ago, that sure got them out of the woodwork!
My favorite is “I’m not political so I don’t vote”.
MFer, YOU are a big reason why we’re here now, having to put up with this corrupt shit! GET OFF YOUR SORRY ASS!
(Imo voting should be mandatory like in AU)
This! So much this! While married to my ex-husband his ENTIRE family wasn’t registered to vote. Before I got out of that messy marriage I had all but two of twenty registered and voting in local elections.
Most of the people I see telling people not to vote are Red and Blue guys talking to anyone thinking about voting for a third party. I see AOC make shit up about the Green Party candidates when the Green Party candidates are the ones putting their asses on the line, getting arrested, and protesting the abhorrent shit this administration does. That is worlds away from a Chuck Schumer letter.
The green party accidentally registered their candidate as a referendum question in Nevada, instead of as a candidate.
Democrats gave the Israelites weapons to carry out their genocide, which helped them lose to literally the most unqualified candidate to ever run for anything.
Want to go tit for tat? I have more ammo, I promise.
You know, I don’t recall any instance of Trump losing ballot access due to filing the wrong paperwork.
What a stupid throwaway strawman. Lenin both saw the traps of electoralism while encouraging tactical participation in it. He certainly wouldn’t encourage “vote blue, no matter who”. That gets you Fettermans and Sinemas. https://www.marxists.org/archive/lenin/works/1911/oct/18c.htm
As if Lenin wasnt smarter than your average tankie.
Tankies. Worthless pride over common sense every single time.
In a system like this im just glad they feel a way.
Trump may claim to hate communism
But arming Israel is bombunism
I kniw i can ddg it but… Whats a tankie?
It’s meaning can vary based on the ideology of the user, but in my experience it’s usually someone who supports authoritarian regimes because of a veneer of communism. Usually Soviet Russia (especially the Stalin era) or modern China. I think the term comes from how these regimes like to show power with tanks.

It was an insult made up by a group of British trots against other European communist groups for their support of the USSR intervention in an attempted color revolution (involving a bunch of actual og nazi-affiliates/Nazis) in Hungary in the '50s. The intervention involved driving tanks into Hungary, thus “tankie”.
Of course later openings of CIA archives confirmed that the revolution was indeed supported by the CIA. The nazi thing was evident at the time, you can just look up the groups involved and the participants.Uh-huh. CIA archives, is that what it is now? Last I checked the only evidence of CIA involvement was an incredibly tenuous link to a hungarian immigrant group that was founded several years afterwards. But there’s archives now, are there? Can we see them, please? It would be super interesting since, well, reports from the actual CIA archives sure make it sound like they didnt know what was happening at all, let alone have any control over it. In fact according to them, they didn’t even have more than one officer there and completely fucked up the entire thing, which they doubtlessly would have liked to have supported, through what can only be described as “wild incompetence”.
How deranged can you be?
It was the soviet red fascists cracking down on actual communists.
Basically when you look around and the sky is blue, plus people don’t generally have the most basic allowance to shoot each other… you’re not a tankie.
when you see green grass and yet consider polite society “the real Nazis”… when everyone other than Russia or China is a Nazi… you ARE a tankie.
When Putin says it’s a “3 day special operation” but you say “well no one really said that? Uh I mean actually It was NATO…” then you’re a def a tankie.
Basically take all of reality, remove any accountability, and then make up shit.
Cingrats, you’re a tankie!

Like you just did?

Congrats, you’re a tankie!
A well known benefit of not voting is you don’t need to update your registration and have new and up to the moment information about yourself available to anyone who can register a pac.
tAnKiEs are out here voting for people while liberals demand they vote how they would, it’s not good enough
I love voting, try and stop me going to the polling booth on election day
I’ll happily vote for the Dems candidates if stop supporting genocide and start doing what the people want. If they want to play republican-lite again they can lose again. If you dont like that, centrists and zionists, I dont particularly care. But the dems will earn my vote from now on. They have taught us all that if we dont demand, they will do zero to represent us-- they will just cash bribe checks. No more of that.

Why would they listen to your demands, you just said you don’t vote. Your demands literally don’t matter anymore.
oh I vote every election for the past 35 years but if its a choice between one war criminal or another, you bet your ass I leave that entry on the ballot blank. I dont support war criminals.
Dems need to learn that they cant cash AIPAC checks and win. People like you just sabotage the system by voting for them no matter what they do-- you stand for nothing and you make room for the bribery to exist. The voter problem here is you.
Why would they listen to you? You will vote for them anyway. How hard is it for dems to not be war criminals?
Because here in the modern world, we have primaries.
You will still complain when people would not vote for the popular candidate
It sucks that the invented reality you came up with hurt your feelings, but that’s not my problem.
You mean the thing that got rigged in 2016 or the thing where the popular candidate got ratfucked in 2020 or the thing that we didnt have in 2024?
Or do you mean the thing we had in 2012 and 2008 with a candidate who ran on a faux-leftist platform he then abandoned? Or do you mean the thing in 2004 where mainstream media and the DNC conspired to run the popular anti-war candidate into the ground over a nothing-burger or the thing in 2000 where the democratic party showed it was completely unwilling to stand up against blatant election fraud?Yep! That thing. The thing that is the alternative to Trump.
Do you prefer Trump? Do you prefer the 2.8B in bombs we just sent to Israel?
Right, so the thing that can’t be done? You just agreed that the primaries are rigged, so voting for progressives do not matter.
Sweet, so we agree, in your worldview there is nothing to do. Might as well lie down and give up, the way you view the world.
You can either vote for democrats, which you’ve agreed is pointless because the democrats that aren’t just republicans get ratfucked, or you can do nothing at all - in your worldview. Both of the actions has the same end result, following the line of reasoning that has been established with you through this comment section.On top of all that: Your whole argument is built on a false dilemma and a misrepresentation of what leftists are arguing.
Do you prefer the 2.8B in bombs we just sent to Israel?
Democrat voters the second they’re not the ones bombing brown people: genocide is bad, actually.
No, my whole argument is based on the reality that option b is trump, and option c does not exist. You can convince me that democrats are barely better than trump, sure. Option b is trump. Barely better than trump is better than trump. Barely, but better.
I mean, if you like trump, then just own it. Wear that maga hat proud.
Why would they listen to yours, if you will vote for them regardless of policy position?
Because I voted in the primaries, too.
Lmao, good bit
Oh sure. Because no one ever says “we need to increase turnout”. You’re a moron
Truth:
The golden boy of libs, JFK invaded and embargoed cuba, supported notorious fascist dictatorship of south vietnam against popular vietnam communists, also did coup in iraq overthrowing democratically elected president because he nationalised key industries
Lyndon johnson did coup of democratically elected left wing brazilian president in 1964
Eisenhower backed right wing coup in Laos against communists, also Iran and guatemala
There are countess more crimes of liberals.
The golden boy of libs, JFK
Bruh.
It’s 2026.
Libs don’t give a shit about JFK. You gotta update your targets if you want to shit talk libs. You can pull a cuckservative and shit talk Obama. That makes more sense than bringing up JFK.
Eisenhower? Lyndon? I think it says something that you have to go back that far to make a point.
Liberals support genocidal gulf monarchies and apartheid state of israel
OP’s meme is about voters, your meme is about the politicians themselves.
Not really.
Who’s going to Fox news to trash the Dsa and Hassan? Not the tankis but the establishment democrats
Geriatrics dems who appease to the facists are libs
shhh! don’t tell Joe and Eileen Bailey!
Liberals supporting fascist enablers every step of the way and then blaming the leftists when everything they warn about doing that comes to pass.
Libs will never learn. You should vote but voting is quite literally the least impactful way to be involved in your political system. Join DSA if you want to work towards tangible change. Otherwise you’re just patting yourself on the back and assuaging your guilt for not doing more.

I’d love to see you verbalize a count argument than whatever this is.
