Jesus has my vote…no not him! Jesus Gonzalez from Colombia…He did my cabinets and all I can say is…WELL WOULD YOU JUST LOOK AT THAT
I’m a capitolist, and I’m not voting Biden.
Enjoy the Trump win everyone. We deserve it. You can thank the DNC. And Hilary Clinton.
Also, who’s actually making the calls and decisions right now? It’s not Biden. Obama? Clinton? Or are the DNC themselves deciding?
Would be nice to have a candidate who stands for something other than “he’s not the other guy” or “I’m sticking it to [group]!”
Isn’t that Biden? He sees himself as a desirable candidate and stands for his own stuff. It’s the supporters who often stand for nothing more than fascism slower.

Yeah… sure. Not a tankie, I’m European and don’t care about influencing you to vote for one or another. But after seeing Biden “debate” Trump I know the dems are fucked. I mean sure, still go out and vote, but I honestly don’t see many people doing so.
I’m not sure if OP understands what a Tanky is.
This is what Germany in 1929 was - without social media.

That’s what extra militant Joffrey says so it must be true.
I’ve been called many names, including “tankie”, so I’ll take a stab at responding.
I’m not mad about the debate at all. I expected something fairly similar. I’m mad that Biden and the Democratic leadership seems to have put their own interests above the interest of the party.
If Biden had gracefully stepped aside and given just about any other Democrat his full support, we’d be in a much better position now. Instead we have a candidate with a ton of baggage and who presents an easy target for Trump’s style of argument. Many mainstream Democrats, including the NYT, are finally starting to realize this. Unfortunately it’s probably a year too late. At this point it would just make it look like Demoratic kingmakers forced him out.
If I went by the modern definition of “tankie” as, an ant-american authoritarian communist. I probably wouldn’t be mad at any of this. I’d be cackling with glee because either of the current nominees will be terrible for the US. Neither of them has a serious long term plan. Neither of them can articulate a policy position. Both of them will continue to erode the power and moral authority of the United States.
Like it or not. Trump is likely to be the next president https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/. At this point it’s probably wise to start thinking about how to limit his impact and how to start cleaning up the mess afterwards.

Good luck doing that. It’s a bitch to live just about anywhere else you’d actually want to live without citizenship.
At this point I doubt tankies should be much of a concern. What are they, 1-2% of the potential Dem voter base? I’d sooner worry about the indecisive ones who have seen the performances in the debate.
No, see, that would mean there are people out there who disagree with me who aren’t either tankies or maga, and that impossible because that would mean… that would… oh no…
They’re just very loud on this site.
They’re loud on every site. Their goal is to normalize disenfranchisement. They’re either knowingly or unknowingly doing the job for Republicans.
They’re especially loud here because Lemmy’s developers are tankies. Some are even supposedly former Chapo Trap House peeps that got kicked off reddit. It’s the most annoying part of this place trying to be a reddit replacement. But it’s getting better with users calling them out.
We need all the votes we can get.
Exactly. More specifically, I’m not afraid of how people vote, I’m afraid of people choosing not to.
What are they, 1-2% of the potential Dem voter base?
Add a .000 in front of those numbers and you might be right. If those numbers were accurate you would expect somewhere between, what…1 and 2 million tankies in the US alone?
I’m voting for the man with one foot in the coffin that is not trump, but it doesn’t matter because I don’t live in a swing state.
I will cast my vote between tears but nobody ever promised preserving democracy will always make you feel good.
In fact, I am close to launching into a really hard condemnation of every last one of you lazy-ass motherfuckers who expect everything to always play out like a 2-dimensional anime plot where you’re the good guy so you’re supposed to always feel good, and any struggles are easily overcome, and if it doesn’t play out like that, then you go full doomer-mode and grab your soapbox to preach how pointless life is just because you’re lonely but too scared to talk to a girl. Go back to your discord safe-spaces and let adults out here make the hard choices.
Okay? Oddly specific
Is this loss?
Íf he wore a clown suit and only spoke Pig-Latin during the debate… considering the alternative
He would STILL be the only viable candidate worth voting for
Your ignorant use of tankies is what bothers me the most. I already knew you’d vote dumbly no matter what, Blue MAGA. 🙄
Yeah, some ppl don’t get that you don’t have to like Biden, to vote against trump. 🤷♂️
