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.

[–] AshMan85@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (2 children)

where are all these tankies everyone on here keeps talking about? lol

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

The Nazi-Soviet alliance was brought up a bit ago, that sure got them out of the woodwork!

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.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 days ago

Must be a different reality because this seems tangentially related.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Tankies. Worthless pride over common sense every single time.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

In a system like this im just glad they feel a way.

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

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 4 days ago

As if Lenin wasnt smarter than your average tankie.

Trump may claim to hate communism

But arming Israel is bombunism

[–] Vgcjt@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I kniw i can ddg it but... Whats a tankie?

[–] sunspider@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

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.

[–] realworldschlitz@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

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.

Congrats, you’re a tankie!

Ooo this is gonna be good

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.

[–] impairedimperator@lemmy.zip 3 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Why would they listen to your demands, you just said you don't vote. Your demands literally don't matter anymore.

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

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.

[–] rumimevlevi@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Why would they listen to you? You will vote for them anyway. How hard is it for dems to not be war criminals?

[–] impairedimperator@lemmy.zip 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Because here in the modern world, we have primaries.

[–] rumimevlevi@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You will still complain when people would not vote for the popular candidate

[–] impairedimperator@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 days ago

It sucks that the invented reality you came up with hurt your feelings, but that's not my problem.

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.

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Cosmonaut@lemmy.today 1 points 4 days ago

Liberals support genocidal gulf monarchies and apartheid state of israel

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

OP's meme is about voters, your meme is about the politicians themselves.

[–] Cosmonaut@lemmy.today 3 points 5 days ago

Not really.

[–] Malica@lemmy.zip -3 points 5 days ago

Don't forget the neolibs
