With how eagerly centrists have been throwing vulnerable minorities under the bus, it’s clear that they bitterly regret the civil rights act and the voting rights act because they cost the party the support of the bigots they love dearly.
Anyone who uses the word “tankie” as a pejorative is a dumbass and needs to touch grass. Same goes for people who defend people’s use of the word “tankie”.
The term tankie is used to vilify leftists and sow division amongst leftists. It is also used by chronically online liberals to describe anyone who is left of center.
It’s used as a pejorative for authoritarian “leftists”, e.g. people who could barely be considered left-wing and have more in common with right-wing authoritarians, and who praise authoritarian governments like Russia/China.
Other people on the left don’t want to be associated with that shit, and rightfully so.
Tankies aren’t leftists, they’re state capitalists which is an even stupider version of capitalism than the normal kind. Even the Chinese abandoned you foolish tankies.
GIven that I’ve had Tankies try to tell me the fight for LGBT rights isn’t worth it because it’s a “distraction” and “actually racist to force other cultures to conform to Western Values”
You gladly voted for a genocider and were ready to throw foreigners under the bus in exchange for your own safety. Now you get neither. Good job, loser.
“Progressive roots”?
I wouldn’t be surprised if Tankies unironically liked Democrats better when they were the KKK.

Centrists call anyone to the left of Manchin a tankie, regardless of their actual positions.

Given that centrists are parroting “Boys in girl’s sports” bigotry in their own ads, it’s not like y’all weren’t itching to abandon trans people.
