Maybe we don’t associate Biden with fascism frog
AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 3 days ago
If we let the fascists claim any symbol they want, we will have nothing left.
Pepe was just a depressed frog boi. Pepe is only fascist if we let the fascists win

I used to joke back in 2014 that if Milo Yian-whatever, Ben Shapiro and Gavin McInnes just had a biweekly meeting and decided on a hand sign, an image and a word to use heavily in social media for the following month that everything could be made into a dogwhistle within a year.

Its literally a copy of a 2016 trump meme except they replaced Trump with Biden. This meme was deployed whenever Trump would “shit the bed” by 2015 standards.

Pepe and his variations never represented any political ideology. The only thing that Pepe and Wojak represent is the internet

I’ve been called many names, including “tankie”, so I’ll take a stab at responding.
I’m not mad about the debate at all. I expected something fairly similar. I’m mad that Biden and the Democratic leadership seems to have put their own interests above the interest of the party.
If Biden had gracefully stepped aside and given just about any other Democrat his full support, we’d be in a much better position now. Instead we have a candidate with a ton of baggage and who presents an easy target for Trump’s style of argument. Many mainstream Democrats, including the NYT, are finally starting to realize this. Unfortunately it’s probably a year too late. At this point it would just make it look like Demoratic kingmakers forced him out.
If I went by the modern definition of “tankie” as, an ant-american authoritarian communist. I probably wouldn’t be mad at any of this. I’d be cackling with glee because either of the current nominees will be terrible for the US. Neither of them has a serious long term plan. Neither of them can articulate a policy position. Both of them will continue to erode the power and moral authority of the United States.
Like it or not. Trump is likely to be the next president projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/. At this point it’s probably wise to start thinking about how to limit his impact and how to start cleaning up the mess afterwards.

It was a typo. I meant to say that the Democratic leadership seems to have put their and their parties interests above those of the people but I wanted to avoid editing my post too much.

Would be nice to have a candidate who stands for something other than “he’s not the other guy” or “I’m sticking it to [group]!”
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 4 days ago
Isn’t that Biden? He sees himself as a desirable candidate and stands for his own stuff. It’s the supporters who often stand for nothing more than fascism slower.

Look on the bright side: a vote for Biden is really just a vote for Kamala Harris with extra steps.
abracaDavid@lemmy.today 4 days ago
Harris is a joke and a cop that made her name on being super hard on small criminal offenses.
She ain’t it. I mean, have you heard the weird things that she says while she’s speaking?
She’s a terrible candidate. A somehow even worse Hillary.

Hillary is such a smug fuck I really don’t know what Harris would have to do to make me hate her more.

I’ll vote for biden unless he drops out and a more progressive candidate presents itself, in which case I won’t vote biden.
Wogi@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I’m normally critical of Biden but this is one of the few times I’ll say it. Biden staying in the race is the best thing he can do.
It doesn’t matter when he drops out at this point, the time to do that was 8 months ago. If he drops out now and there’s an open convention, democrats lose in November. If he drops out after the convention, and the DNC chooses a different candidate to replace him, Democrats lose in November.
The last time anything similar happened, there were riots outside the DNC in Chicago and Hubert Humphrey safely handed the office to Richard Nixon.
Fun fact, Hilary Clinton attended the protests.

At this point I doubt tankies should be much of a concern. What are they, 1-2% of the potential Dem voter base? I’m worrying more about the indecisive ones who have seen the performances in the debate.
PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 5 days ago
They’re just very loud on the site.
disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 5 days ago
They’re loud on every site. Their goal is to normalize disenfranchisement. They’re either knowingly or unknowingly doing the job for Republicans.
IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 5 days ago
Exactly. More specifically, I’m not afraid of how people vote, I’m afraid of people choosing not to.
rwhitisissle@lemmy.world 4 days ago
What are they, 1-2% of the potential Dem voter base?
Add a .000 in front of those numbers and you might be right. If those numbers were accurate you would expect somewhere between, what…1 and 2 million tankies in the US alone?
Aqarius@lemmy.world 4 days ago
No, see, that would mean there are people out there who disagree with me who aren’t either tankies or maga, and that impossible because that would mean… that would… oh no…

Hypothethical imaginary situations that are supposed to scare Leftists or other sensible individuals into toeing the dem party lines are false and useless
i keep seeing this analogy and conclusions pop up everywhere on here over the last three months and I’m think a neo-liberal developer has unleashed a host of bot accounts that parrot their party’s propaganda on Lemmy
eran_morad@lemmy.world 4 days ago
It’s just kinda dumbass, since the other guy is going to do so much worse. Like, if you value human life, you should draw the line at the putz who’s going to kill the fewest people. You can piss and moan all you want, but before you lies a binary choice. There’s nothing you can do to change that.

Great. When Trump wins, you’ll be just as responsible as the republicans

I assume you are referring to supplying weapons to Israel, in which case, do you think Trump (who called Biden a ‘Palestinian’ as an insult during the debate) will be the better choice and stop supplying weapons to Israel?

They’re trying to conflate anyone who isn’t in full support of Biden as a tankie. It’s more of the same from the last year that’s been used to shut down any debate or criticism.

hark@lemmy.world 4 days ago
The original image even says “don’t care, still voting trump” this is just an edit changing it to biden. Both democrats and republicans can agree on punching to the left. Of course, democrats have to use dog whistles like calling them all “tankies” just like how republicans love to discriminate against minorities while making references to them as “inner city youths” or whatever.

I think the Tankies have already made their minds up. The real people who won’t be voting Biden are some % people who saw the debate.
Carlo@lemmy.ca 4 days ago
I agree that it’s only really the low-information undecided voters who will be swayed by a bad debate performance. Happily, we still have 5 months until the election, and I doubt that many people will be thinking about this by the time they get to the ballot box.

…I struggle to see how any sane individual would vote for either option. Or allow their emotions to be unnerved by “politics”. It is also concerning that more people are not aware of how the electoral process works. The popular vote bickering with one another while both sides laugh at you.
Please stop making decisions rooted in “the lesser of”. If you can pick between the “lesser of two evils” its because you’ve got evil in you…
…Someone is going to watch your child and you’re given two choices: one is a convicted pedophile and the other is a convicted murderer…
… for some of us, there is no choice to choose from. Even under duress we have free will. A gun to my head might influence my decision making, I still made a decision…I could have decided otherwise.
I wontb get worked up over political theater. It’s more agonizing to witness then play the same trick, generation after generationn and yall keep drinking the kool-aid 🫤
