IIRC, this was posted earlier today on the lemmy.ml instance, and very, very quickly deleted by a mod.

...Which undermines the central claim.

They didn't want anyone getting any funny ideas about tankies. Like that they weren't braindead, authoritarian boot lickers.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I dunno. Have you noticed that the guy is portrayed as a soyjak?

Hey, if tankies were gonna vote for Biden to thwart trump, we wouldn’t have a problem. It’s that most that I’ve seen explicitly say they won’t. And they advocate that people shouldn’t. So - i don’t get it.

Well, the one to the right (probably) isn't a tankie though, but I approve their actions

Gotta say, I'm confused as to why Dale Earnhardt is in this meme...

[-] brutalist@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago

Raise hell praise Dale

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

He was very left leaning. He would vote for Biden to defeat Trump

As a South American who had to choose between right and extreme right, being a leftist, I completely understand the frustration about voting Biden. And what's more, agree completely he does not deserve to be voted. But, in order to defeat fascism and with all other cards now played, Biden is the lesser of two evils and taking the moral high ground could result on fascism taking over the USA. I suggest voting for Biden. My two cents...

I actually love this model:

Biden supporters: "Unite around candidate Biden or prepare to watch Democracy die!"

Biden detractors: "You guys are nuts! That old bastard can barely put 3 sentences together. I will argue we should have a younger more vibrant candidate like Big Gretch who would wipe the floor with Trump all the way until I vote for Biden's senile ass on November 5th!"

Biden supporter: "You dumb fucks, Whitmer herself says she isn't interested and is all-in for Biden! But she'd be a great candidate and I would fully support her if Biden steps down and she was the nominee. But he won't, so pull your heads out of your asses and support him!"

Like, if we gotta argue, let's have fun with it and just vote 100% for dems top to bottom on November 5th.

When there are people that are still voting, even if it’s not for Biden, I disagree with it, but only politely. It’s still your right as American.

But that isn’t the message going out in so many of these memes. Barely any content encourages any specific candidate, and evokes ridiculous concepts like “A vote for Biden is a vote for genocide” - without putting forward an alt candidate that has a genuine plan to prevent genocide (obviously, Trump is not one).

The reason I’m fine with generally just ensuring people vote, whoever it’s for, is because statistically Democrats win elections that more people vote for. I have faith that genuine, fair popularity contests will go my way.

While true, I can still be pissed off that Dems force me to vote for someone I don’t want instead of offering someone about whom I can be enthused.

For Trump supporters it's more like "Organize, Vote, Racist".

[-] Achyu@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 4 months ago

I don't know much about US presidential candidates, but maybe all of you can vote for this Brandon person if the other side doesn't like Biden?

[-] NutWrench@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

Biden isn't a "neo-liberal shill" he's a boring, middle of the road corporatist.

Republicans and Democrats have been moving steadily to the right for the last 40 years. So now, the Democrats are where the Republicans used to be in the 1980s: friends of banks, insurance and pharmaceutical companies. And the Republicans have moved all the way into an insane asylum.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 30 points 4 months ago

Biden isn't a "neo-liberal shill" he's a {exact definition of neo-liberal shill}

No, Ronald Reagan closed the asylums so they had to stay in office
