I'm not asking this to bait you. It's not a trick question. I genuinely want to know.

Biden himself has stated multiple times that he wants to "reach across the aisle" (his exact words) and work with Republicans. You know, the same Republicans that are banning abortion and LGBTQ+ people? The same Republican party that has literal white supremacists in its political ranks? I earnestly want to know why you still back a party that openly wants to work with fascists.

The only answer I've ever seen liberals give is that the Republicans are worse... and they are, yeah, but if your choices are pure evil, and the guy who works with pure evil, doesn't that suggest that both of them should be opposed? And as we've seen, a democratic government won't fight to protect marginalized groups from the bigoted laws the Republicans are passing, so even voting for them to protect those groups from fascism just isn't working.

And what do you make of Biden telling his wealthy donors that "nothing will fundamentally change." and Biden boasting about the economy while rent skyrockets people live out of their cars and struggle to feed themselves? How can you call yourself a leftist or a even progressive if you stand by that?

Again, I'm not saying these things to be abrasive, I genuinely want an honest answer.

Lmao how many people own the means of production in Scandinavia?

It certainly isn't a democracy, given that they're a capitalist country where the oligarchy of wealthy companies get more say than the average person.

Again, what do you think socialism is? What do you think fascism is for that matter?

neither I sympathize with those who call everyone nazi when they're losing an argument ;)

Oh hey, look, it's the same thought terminating argument that the alt-right uses to whitewash Nazis!

Literally every one of our anarchist users have been called tankies, lmao

Communism is political science, words have meanings and we tend to use the correct ones, yes.

Oh, so calling people Tankie is just red scare propaganda then. Thanks for the heads up.

The_Donald is when you believe the opposite of The_Donald

So you hate Nordic countries?

Sorry, this meme doesn't make sense, what do you think socialism is?

This is a weak meme lol.

So let me get this straight, according to you:

The people that don't support either side of the war and want to end it as fast as possible through peace talks are evil tankies.

And the bloodthirsty monsters that want to prolong a pointless war, arm Azov Nazis and kill as many people as possible with illegal inhumane weapons that scar generations are freedom-loving liberals.

Seems like the tankies are the more reasonable ones in this situation.
