Maybe I’m in a bubble, but I have yet to see anyone who’s not genuinely a tankie being accused of such.

Ive seen people be called tankies for not supporting Kamala and opposing Liberal Democracy

for not supporting Kamala

That’s wild. I’ve never heard that take and have a difficult time believing that it is common.

opposing Liberal Democracy

What alternative were they in favor of?

World users were literally calling anyone who critiqued Kamala Russian bots, were you not paying attention for the last several months?

What alternative were they in favor of?

Depends, some leftists support a workers democracy, im personally an Anarcho Syndicalist

I've seen conservatives lob the word tankie around before like they do with other scary sounding political words. But not here on lemmy. "Tankie" has a very precise meaning on lemmy that everyone here seems to understand, despite a few tankies trying to gaslight people into thinking the term has "lost it's meaning".
