    And of course there’s nothing but tankies to the left of the Democratic party.

        Tankie is a pejorative term for someone who would support an authoritarian to bring socialism/communism. Literally to cheer the tanks that suppressed popular protests in the cold war.

        Where’d you get that Idea? Tankie(s) specifically means supporting authoritarian leftist ideals. Sending in the tanks, etc.

        Anarchists are further left than Democrats and are definitely not tankies.

      No, there’s nothing but tankies to the left of the democratic party, just like there’s nothing but Nazis right of the democratic party. /s

      (Ok, the last part has a kernel of truth in it)

      For real though, there’s enough place left of the democratic party, but those will just not be on the ballot. And if Trump wins, there will be no more ballots (or trump will just get 131% of the vote, just like in Russia). But like I said leftauth, rightauth, they are the same picture, aren’t they?

        If the democrats put as much work into getting people to vote for them as they do threatening the left, they’d get votes. Humans don’t actually respond very well to threats.

          Oh, the threat of creating the worlds largest and most powerful dictatorship is something that should concern you. But it doesn’t. Like I said, Left authoritarians, right authoritarians, same same.

            Oh yes all the people who don’t want to be coerced into voting by threats are authoritarians. That’s as logical as putting lipstick on your hogs when you send them to the slaughter house.

            Stop funding a fucking famine and we’ll talk.

              Lol, the projection goes hard in your answer. the only one in the US getting sent to the slaughterhouse are LGBT+, the homeless, political enemies of the right-wing and anyone who stands up against the forming dictatorship when Trump wins. i don’t want mass graves in gaza, but bringing them to the US instead can not be the answer.

              Just that you know, i don’t think that such a regime will thank you for your service; i’m inclined to believe that your political goals will put you in the crosshairs too.

                Project 2025 has a lot of shit in it but nowhere did I see anything about committing genocide. Making up shit like this when there’s one actually going on that we’re supporting is ridiculous. Especially your accusation of projection. Because there is literally a genocide occurring right now. People are dying because of our support for Israel right now. And you want to make one up.

                But I’m the one projecting? Holy shit dude. All Biden has to do is cut Israel loose. Do the right thing. Earn the votes. Blaming the people who will not be bullied is not going to work. It didn’t work in 2016 and it won’t work now.

                  you sure that it cannot happen in the US? look what happened today:

                  https://lemmy.world/post/15478741

                  a convicted murderer and racist, pardoned by the governor. and the police in the US is already known for their extrajudicial killings. If project 2025 gets started, digging single graves will not be enough anymore.

                    That’s nothing new in the US. We just paused on doing it for a while.
