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 10 months 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.

Still voting Biden, but this feels an awful lot like many past elections where people are holding their nose and voting for a candidate they don’t necessarily like just because they don’t like the other candidate. Those elections never seem to turn out good.
squozenode@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s exactly what this is.
Give me a viable other option, please! Biden is soggy, cold oatmeal from 4 days ago that’s probably still fine. Trump is medical waste mixed with gasoline and uranium powder.
OccamsRazer@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Fear seems like the go-to strategy when you have the weaker candidate. During the Obama elections, the only thing Republicans could do was try to scare people into voting for them, since they knew they couldn’t beat him. The strategy turns from focusing on the strength of your own candidate to focusing on the flaws of the opposing candidate. Democrats entire strategy at this point is maximizing fear of Trump. Not sure why it’s so hard for them to get rid of Biden and put up a real candidate, but it looks like a flaw in the nomination process.

Maybe we don’t associate Biden with fascism frog

If we let the fascists claim any symbol they want, we will have nothing left.

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.
SleezyDizasta@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Pepe and his variations never represented any political ideology. The only thing that Pepe and Wojak represent is the internet

antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
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 10 months ago
They’re just very loud on the site.
disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 10 months 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 10 months ago
Exactly. More specifically, I’m not afraid of how people vote, I’m afraid of people choosing not to.
rwhitisissle@lemmy.world 10 months 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 10 months 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…

Look on the bright side: a vote for Biden is really just a vote for Kamala Harris with extra steps.
abracaDavid@lemmy.today 10 months 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.
SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Hillary is such a smug fuck I really don’t know what Harris would have to do to make me hate her more.

okay so vote for trump who will give even more to israel, great plan, very thought out.

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 10 months 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.
queermunist@lemmy.ml 10 months ago
Same.
I don’t care if y’all vote for Biden. Do what you think is best, and let me do what I think is best.
BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
So throwing away your vote is doing what is best?
Great. When Trump wins, you’ll be just as responsible as the republicans
SPRUNT@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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?

You address this to tankies. I see very few of them around here these days.
Cringe karma post.
Maggoty@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
sudo@programming.dev 10 months ago
using a pepe to post this is letting the mask slip a bit there bud.
hark@lemmy.world 10 months 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.

Your ignorant use of tankies is what bothers me the most. I already knew you’d vote dumbly no matter what, Blue MAGA. 🙄
splonglo@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.

…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 🫤

I wonder how many of the dyed-in-the-wool DNC supporters would stay home or vote third party if Biden wasn’t the candidate chosen at the convention.
nednobbins@lemm.ee 10 months ago
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.
