    That’s why tankies don’t want to support kamala.

    “That” being the promises in the meme? I don’t understand why that would make them not support Kamala.

      So lemme break things down…

      Trump would turn the Israeli genocide of Palestine up to 11… MFKN TURBOMODE9000 GENOCIDE.

      I’m figuring that must be what the tankies want to happen.

      Or maybe you can figure out how voting for a third party that won’t win (I fucking promise you they won’t) ISNT helping trump out.

      They’re leveraging a genocide to fuck with people’s emotions to manipulate things. It’s gross. Tankies are gross.

        Always take into account that they could be russian bots or propagandists. There’s the “Social Design Agency” of russia and I think they’re active on all platforms. I’ve seen posts rooting for Jill Stein on X, Mastodon, Reddit and here.

        I’m from Germany and can’t get into my head that anyone true US citizen in the current situation and having the electoral system the US has, would vote the greens there.

        Let me quote from this wikipedia article

        “Duverger presents the example of an election in which 100,000 moderate voters and 80,000 radical voters are to vote for candidates for a single seat or office. If two moderate parties ran candidates and one radical candidate ran (and every voter voted), the radical candidate would tend to win unless one of the moderate candidates gathered fewer than 20,000 votes.”

        Jill Stein and 3rd party voters had probably cost Clinton the election in 2016. 3rd party voter turnout was 6% in 2016 and 2% in 2020:

        The last straws should be that Jill Stein has investments in the fossil fuel and tobacco industry, met with Putin and was recently endorsed by a leading figure of the KKK, David Duke:

          Do they have any other moves?

          All I see is low-brow agitprop that is extremely easy to parse…

          You call them out, there are 2 scenarios;

          If you’re in tankie space they dogpile you because they can’t defend their ideas with reason.

          Or

          Outside of tankie space they target your emotions try to make you feel bad because their arguments are never about thinking or logic, always emotions. It’s because they are weak to their core and all the false strength is a show.

          It would be cute if they weren’t so smelly.
