I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

Because some people, mostly just tankies and anarchists pretending to be moral abstainers, are unapologetic about helping elect fascism. By exposing and shaming them, onlookers will reconsider their own stance.

There are actual Nazis in this administration, and you’re worried about “tankies?” Get it together man.

One’s enemies can exist on two fronts. It’s happened before.

“We are fighting the wrong enemy.” Allen Dulles expressed this sentiment in 1942, while serving as the Swiss director of the OSS. He had reevaluated the ongoing war with Nazi Germany and decided that the Communist threat was far graver than the National Socialist one.

You’re in good company

They're literally saying Nazis are also their enemies.

So is Dulles. He said "greater threat".

Where is your evidence that the person above believes the same thing?

The Tankies are promoting abstaining to help elect the actual Nazis and it fucking worked, so yes I'm worried about the fucking Tankies.

Tankies want 1 thing: "the end of US Imperialism" which is to say for us to all off ourselves so that NATO stops getting in China's way.

Are the tankies in the room with us now?

Take a look around.

Are the Tankies in office? Prioritize and Organize.

Well...

2018

"He's now president for life, president for life. And he's great," Trump said, according to audio of excerpts of Trump's remarks at a closed-door fundraiser in Florida aired by CNN. "And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot someday," Trump said to cheers and applause from supporters.

2020

Our relationship with China has now probably never, ever been better," Trump said, adding that he gets on well with President Xi Jinping. "He's for China, I'm for the U.S., but other than that, we love each other."

2025

U.S. President Donald Trump said Thursday that he has “always had a great relationship” with Chinese President Xi Jinping and that he looks forward to “getting along with China.”

Yeah, fucking looks like it.
