Political Memes

An authoritarian self-proclaimed 'leftist' who loudly decries anything that's not 100% in-line with their desires as 'shitlib' policy that must be opposed even at the cost of ushering in actual fascism. This actual fascism is also often described by tankies as 'not that bad' or 'the exact same' as the 'shitlib' policies they oppose. Dissenters are inevitably reactionaries who must be (often literally) crushed, as they don't reflect the TRUE will of the people (ie whatever the opinion of the tankie is).

Why is the the voters obligation to vote for shitty candidates rather than in the candidates to earn the vote?

It's our obligation as voters, as people entrusted with political power, to do what we can to steer our polity towards the least destructive and immoral path that we can.

"JOE BIBEN HASN'T EARNED MY VOTE" doesn't mean jack fucking shit. The point of a citizen's duty is not to suck off the right people - it's to protect one's fellow citizens, and ideally, members of other polities as well.

Voting isn't a fucking judgement of who's moral enough to go to democracy fucking heaven - voting is a judgement of who is least objectionable in steering the future of the polity - including considering the likelihood of success.

Sorry that using political power responsibly is such a foreign concept to you.

Biden is looking at a close race and the majority of voters want a cease fire.

The majority of voters want a cease-fire. You want to tell me what the majority of voters want the US to do to achieve a ceasefire?

Most US voters are not in favor of more stringent terms than what Biden has already proposed.

This idea that the US electorate is as left as the Fediverse is just... fucking bizarre.
