    Completely wrong, Tankies weren’t just promoting primarying Biden, a pretty obvious lost cause from the start given his incumbent status, they were promoting voting against Biden in the generals. That is NOT advocacy against genocide in Gaza. Trump is a single-state supporter.

      Except that there are 2 groups: progressives and a more extreme left group. Progressives who were arguing in good faith against genocide were lumped in with the latter group.

      The establishment Democrats were engaging in censorship and suppression of anything that was critical of Israel. Now Trump has stepped up this censorship/suppression, but it was definitely happening under Biden.

        I’m a consequencialist, so while I acknowledge there is a minority of extremists who think burning down the state itself is progressive, I personally don’t view them as such. If anything I think those extremists were being prodded along and supported by the conservatives who benefit from splitting the left and also agitated by Tankie psyops who benefit from the USA’s fall from grace.

        Just elect 60 democrats to the senate so we can get universal healthcare, reduce homelessness, tax the rich, reform the courts, expand ballot access, draw fair election maps, remove money from elections, protect human rights, and protect the environment. Everything I just listed are core DNC stances. If we can’t do that then we’re just going to suffer on this wild ride until societal collapse and replacement with something worse.

        Incorrect, Biden sold Tank Munitions to Israel, but the nuance here is that Tankies has always described militarily aggressive, dictatorship loving, self-proclaiming Communists.
