I was once called a tankie just for critiquing the fact that Kamala didn’t clearify her positions on her campaign website, even though I voted for her anyway the fact that I didn’t show unquestioning loyalty to the party makes me a tankie… Wait a minute… Demanding unquestioning loyalty to the party… Where have I heard that before?
No, I run a left wing community thats explicitly left wing in nature. Liberalism is right wing, so naturally we arent supportive. Furthermore my community tends to lean more libertarian left (workers democracy) and anarchist so we arent a big fan of liberal electoralism.
Once again I still voted for Kamala, however that doesn’t disqualify me from critiquing underlying electoral systems. Fundamentally I belive Liberal Democracy is little more than democracy for the capitalist class.
I want as few Palestinians to fear for their lives as possible. I wish Trump hadn’t won the election and promised to turn Gaza into a US colony. Now it’s only going to get worse. I wish we were fighting Kamala to make things better. She’s easier to pressure. Now we’re stuck fighting Trump to make things worse slower.
AIPAC had to spend 100s of millions to get Israel friendly democrats elected instead because they were scared the decent democrats would win the races and stop supporting genocide thanks to all the protesting people were doing.

Yeah but caring about that apparently makes me a “single issue voter” and a “tankie”, liberals are absolute jokes
Don’t you, like, run a hate community targeted at her?

Refusing to vote is how you end up with the worst arrogant politicians who dont care at all about their constituents.

When Kamala was VP, pro-palestine protesters in the US didn’t get disappeared by the secret police.

But every time us pro-palestinian people tried to put pressure on Kamala we were called tankies. Are you a tankie?
Yup, at least with the democrats you can protest without being kidnapped into a van on the way to El Salvador.
