What's with all the tankies recently? If they wanted to change things for the better they would organize and vote for biden, even if he sucks. The organizing is the important part anyways, voting is just damage control.

EDIT: In case it was unclear, I do not mean organize to vote for biden.

EDIT: I am an idiot. This is a primary. Don't vote for biden if there is a better candidate.

"Tankie" is when you don't vote for a candidate who supports genocide.

The state of the online "tankie" discourse has never been worse.

They has a hammer and sickle in their username, a symbol most socialists have abandoned because of tankies.

socialists have not abandoned the most universally recognized leftist symbol lmao

I personally prefer the socialist rose over the hammer and sickle and the red star, however. Those sorts of symbols, to me at least, evoke the very agrarian-centric revolutions we associate with communism/socialism that came with the side effect of purging intellectuals (as in the USSR, DPRK, PRC, DK/Cambodia etc).
