“Tankies” aka larping conservatives attack any leftist that wins elections because it means the left is solidifying and that goes against their goals of establishing a fascist hegemony.

toomanypancakes@piefed.world 3 weeks agoOut of curiosity, are you expecting him to make life worse for people? Was there a better option to vote for? I've seen more ml outrage against him than I've seen from you guys over the entire Republican party.

Because he’s a fake, just another (admitedly younger) Bernie Sanders. He’ll pivot to the right soon enough, but dont worry, itll just be to cater to the centrists im sure! But considering youre on the anticommie PF version of the liberal .world instance im sure you’ll just close your eyes and plug your ears like most libs

There was a nice rich corrupt molester as an alternative option right there, how could the voters ignore him
