    Conflating anyone on the left with being tankies is exactly the problem.

      If you don’t like being called a tankie, then don’t push tankie talking points, champ.

      Oh, okay, so accelerationism and anti-democratic sentiment is just normal leftism nowadays? We’re all MLs and MLMs? Cool cool cool.

        So is this accelerationism or does it not count when democrats do it?:

        biden pushing billions of dollars towards israel against the wishes of people who vote for him is pro-democratic?:

        How about their rigged primaries keeping progressives out? Is that pro-democratic?:

        I suppose it’s pro-democratic party, but the party’s name is ironic.

          Is that what you think accelerationism is? A party trying to run against the enemy it thinks is electorally weakest?

          Fucking lmao.

          Hilarious. Come back when you actually know anything about how 2016 went down. Some of us were fucking there.

            You think leftists online are accelerationists because they criticize democrats, but you don’t think democrats are accelerationists for outright funding fascists?! Are you being serious?

            Yeah, I was also there in 2016 and I remember people like you claiming that hillary was the best shot we had against trump and that it’s smart that hillary’s team boosted trump because he’d be so easy to win against. The result of the 2016 election should’ve shut people like you up forever, but instead you all pretend like you’re the smartest people on earth.

              That’s funny, considering I was an ardent Bernie voter who ended up protest voting in the General.

              Swing and a miss. It’s almost impressive that you’re wrong so consistently.

                Funny because I was huge supporter for Bernie and ended up voting for hillary in the general because I had no other choice. I guess 2016 broke your brain and you’ve adopted the mindset of the democrats you fought against in 2016.

                  I protest voted because I figured I lived in a safe blue state where it wouldn’t matter if one more cripple cast a protest vote. I had resolved not to protest vote if I was in a swing state, but I was still living in Maryland at the time of the General, so I figured it would be no harm.

                  Mathematically, it didn’t matter, but knowing that I was a contributor to the popular legitimization of a Trump victory soured me on protest voting even in safe states.

                You fight harder against leftists than you do against the democratic party that is funding fascists. In fact, you even defend democrats funding fascists.
