      Obviously they meant “tied for the Muslim vote”

      It wasn’t obvious, it was a line constructed in fantasy and intended confusion. IAnd the way they argue and respond gives me hardcore troll vibes. These people are here to sow distrust, confusion and despair. In line with a country known for doing this kind of thing, russia.

      Tankies = Green Party

      It really is as simple as that.

          No, ‘we’ are not. If you take a step back and think about it, it makes perfect sense.
          Lots of noise and confusion, distrust, ‘both siding’, etc. And all of that happens magically around…presidential election time.

          I will maintain my position, tankies/greenparty are propped up to sow distrust and it is a well known mechanism from russia. Do I think all these poor lost souls are on a payroll? Of course not, if only they were. You can fix income, mentalissues are much tougher to solve. You can indoctrinate swarms of people to do your bidding if you take the time and effort. Again, exactly what russia decades ago started doing to the west. They are ‘activated’ (throw the right amount of messaging on several social media channels to do so) always, and I mean always, around presidential election time.

          A good question to ask would be why it is that Stein person is only in the picture around presidential election times. I never hear about the groundwork of a true party to gain ground on the more ‘boring’ levels that gain no notoriety or attention, like local boards, mayors, etc. Always they spring to life around presidential election times where they stand absolutely no chance. Why is that?

          And for greenparty/tankies to start calling other people delusional is just sad. Lost souls is what they are and I fear we will have to say goodbye to them as I see no real way to mend their minds, they are that lost.

            Or maybe it’s because you don’t pay attention (and the media wilgully ignores more radical opinions). I know crazy.

            So tell me, which of Stein’s or the Green Party’s policies makes them “tankies” exactly?

        This is 100% about them feeling entitled to the Muslim vote and Jill being tied with Harris in polling.

        I’m not saying this is the best structured sentence ever, but you need to work on your reading comprehension (though I have a feeling you are being intentionally obtuse).

            Yeah that’s just plain fucking false equivalence. But I suppose libs aren’t one logical fallacy short of enlightenment, so that tracks.

              My favorite type of person is one who thinks anyone who disagrees with their wrong opinions is a lIbErAl, whatever the fuck that even means.

                I mean you are advocating for the democratic party, correct? That would make you a liberal. If you were advocating for Trump or the GOP I’d call you a conservative. You see, my favorite type of person is the liberal who thinks there are only three opposing ideologies, his or hers, whatever is further right of theirs, with which they will side as soon as anyone who is actual left of them challenges them, and tankies. Let me guess, the DSA is also tankies, right? Except for the ones who advocate for the democratic party? Cornell West? Tankie! PSL? TANKREEEEEEEE

                Love me, love me, I’m a liberal.

                  Well that’s definitely not what the word means, but also no. It means I understand us elections and am also not a sociopath

      That doesn’t fit the narrative in this echo chamber even a little bit. <strawman> <gaslight> <ad hominem> <logical fallacy of your choice> <accusation of bad faith>
