I think the real upsetting thing isn't Biden's performance, or having Biden as president for four more years. He achieved quite a bit after all. The real upsetting thing is the DNC being such cunts that they even pushed for this debate, hoping that Biden could win, only to deny and ignore Biden's abhorrent performance immediately after. That Bernie got shafted twice by them, that is the really upsetting part.

I am starting to think tankies part of another troll from. No way these idiots can be for real.

Look on the bright side: a vote for Biden is really just a vote for Kamala Harris with extra steps.

[–] abracaDavid@lemmy.today 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Harris is a joke and a cop that made her name on being super hard on small criminal offenses.

She ain't it. I mean, have you heard the weird things that she says while she's speaking?

She's a terrible candidate. A somehow even worse Hillary.

[–] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hillary is such a smug fuck I really don't know what Harris would have to do to make me hate her more.

I am a tankie and voting for Biden lmao. The Prolitariat must be protected till enough class conciousness is achieved for Socialism to succeed.

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You sound like a rational tankie, which by the definitions that lemmies have explained to me, would make you not a tankie.

[–] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

"Anyone who thinks themselves a tankie is too self aware to be one" sounds like one of those fallacies you'd learn about in highschool. (What is a tankie, btw? I've been too scared to ask...)*

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (9 children)

A tankie is, broadly, someone who wants to effect left-wing ideology using authoritarian methods. It originally referred to those who defended the USSR using tanks to suppress the Hungarian Revolution, but it could be aptly used to describe those who defend China's actions in Tiananmen Square. It's rightfully used as a perjorative, since authoritarian enforcement is antithetical to leftism, particularly communism.

Tankies are hypocrites who didn't understand their self-proclaimed ideologies. If someone's idea of communist praxis is lining up dissenters for the firing squad, you're dealing with a tankie.

The Prolitariat must be protected

By consenting to corruption and a path to WWIII. That is not protecting them, in fact it is ensuring them a terrible future. If you cared about them, you would vote, volunteer, donate, and support the PSL, CPUSA, or Green party instead.

I'd vote for ToS era Pike over Trump. I'd vote for a candidate who only communicates via ouija board over Trump. I'd vote to not have a president for 4 years before I'd vote for Trump.

It's crazy that Trump can get convicted of fraud, be found liable for sexual assault, promise to abuse presidential power to get revenge against those who cross him, actively undermine both national and global security, promise to round up millions and put them into camps, attempt to overthrow the election and refuse to not try it again, and so on, and his side is still so loyal they'll wear solidarity diapers for him.

[–] radiohead37@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

I’d rather have an empty chair than Trump.

[–] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd vote to not have a president for 4 years before I'd vote for Trump.

And now I'm curious how many things depend on having a president at all, and what his role is, by design, in the US and other countries.

[–] Atom@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Cabinet and federal appointments are the big thing. That's why I'll take Biden over Trump. I'm not just voting for him, I'm voting for the 4000 jobs in energy, health, labor, transportation, etc. to be run by Democrats, liberals, and qualified people.

Trump, and project 2025 plan to fill all those roles with right wing nutjobs who will do anything to please the right. On top of those 4000, they'd expand the presidential appointment power to fire up to 45% of the federal workforce. Meteorologist who said the hurricane won't hit Alabama? GONE! Doctor who said injecting bleach was a bad idea? FIRED!

I'll take anyone who won't put Project 2025 in motion.

....I struggle to see how any sane individual would vote for either option. Or allow their emotions to be unnerved by "politics". It is also concerning that more people are not aware of how the electoral process works. The popular vote bickering with one another while both sides laugh at you.

Please stop making decisions rooted in "the lesser of". If you can pick between the "lesser of two evils" its because you've got evil in you...

...Someone is going to watch your child and you're given two choices: one is a convicted pedophile and the other is a convicted murderer.....

.. for some of us, there is no choice to choose from. Even under duress we have free will. A gun to my head might influence my decision making, I still made a decision....I could have decided otherwise.

I wont get worked up over political theater. It's more agonizing to witness them play the same trick, generation after generationn and yall keep drinking the kool-aid 🫤

[–] dodgy_bagel@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So in your reality, what happens?

Seriously, what are you hoping to gain? What's the desired effect?

The progressive faction just.... never votes. What happens? Magic? Revolution?

You're the sane one, so tell me.

[–] PsyDoctah9Jah@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@Pastabatman 😅... you read my comment & thought I'd engage in political banter with you😅 don't insult my intelligence😆. Only to reply with political comparisons. Tells me you didn't comprehend. Any retorts rooted in political jargon tells me the message was lost. The analogy isn't exhaustive....nor was it used as direct synonyms for Biden & Trump....

Perhaps this will help bring it home...a quarter...is still a quarter no matter hown you flip it, or what side it lands on..... you still engaged in commerce....

Yall gotta stop reading stuff online and cherry picking whatever triggered your emotion, being willfully obtuse, dismissing everything before during and after lol it's so funny😆

@dodgy_bagel - I just skipped to the latter part of your reply. Nothing happens until, if ever, the masses can have a common understanding that is based on truth. Expecting the very thing that oppresses you to free you is asinine. Expecting a broken system, a broken process to fix itself is less than smart... you've been hoodwinked and bamboozled, the fix was in and has been in for generations. It's nonsense once you unpack it all and once you do you see the world, things, as they are, and not as they should be. All the brilliant minds in the world and THESE two are your options 🤣😂 why are people so content on elderly people, specifically old white males in office. Living on this planet is definitely interesting to observe....I just smh🙄 what good do your words do if they can't understand you...

K. You don't read all of my short reply then I don't read past the first sentence of your long winded reply.

You're not a serious person.
