Its a common strategy of pretending to be a leftist but playing up the both sides are bad, so don't vote. Which is the go to strategy if they know the demographic they are targeting won't vote right, so next best thing is apathy towards voting and taking them out of the equation.

So you are suggesting things would be the exact same if Trump hadn't been voted in and that you were completely content and fine with a Trump presidency and Republicans holding all branches of power.

You are as much a Trump support as MAGA taking the side of downplaying how bad he is. No different in fact than smart Trump supporters readjusting their message of downplaying criticisms and trying to convince the left to not vote because both sides are equally bad, so please don't vote.

Very smart right wing strategy of hiding their allegiance acting like they are a leftist, but doing what they can to discourage voting and trying to convince people both are bad since they know they can't win them over to the right. So next thing is don't vote.

The right sure didn't stay home. Voter suppression whether it be through loopholes in the law or social media is one of their favorite strategies that largely benefits them.

Could of fooled me. Guess orange didn't win. Guess we can also ignore tendency of populations to also be drawn to fascism during economic tough times. Didn't know voter suppression benefits leftists more than the right.

I've noticed both sides arguments have been most effective in convincing leftists to not vote.

But the right doesn't seem to be affected by it and comes out to vote consistently no matter what.

Isn't it fascinating both sides are bad argument has been most effective in convincing those on the left to not vote?

Meanwhile that argument doesn't tend to work on the right and they brush it off and go out to vote consistently.

Complimentary remarks to Republicans depicting them as a party open to being privacy respecting and respect for the rule of law. Took the Joe Rogan hand book of trying to sane wash the Republicans and downplay concerns regarding them while trying to come off as moderate.

And it aged terribly. Someone who went to Harvard and spent significant time in the US wasn't blind to what those way less educated than him saw when it came to the direction the US was headed towards before Trump officially took office.

He was rightfully criticized because Trump never hid his intentions during the election, so people were not impressed by the pandering like all the current tech bros part of the Trump inner circle.

Why is it that just doing their job excuse or just following orders tends to be associated with questionable actions as opposed to positive ones? It's starting to seem like a red flag if those two phrases get used for an action.

Same with them simping for people who put in no term limits, one party systems, and want to invade countries that don't consent to it. Pretty much all the reasons to hate Trump.

I really don't get it. Aren't communists supposed to be power to the people for the people, and have the government fear the people as opposed their weird fascist movement they claim is communism? You'd think they'd push for stuff like rank choice voting to try to increase multiple parties, term limits, and government officials afraid of the people and politicians being imprisoned for corruption.

Not some return to a monarchy with a cult of personality they simp over like some slaves who want a master, and giving up the people's power hoping to believe in the idea of a benevolent dictator. That these tankie figure heads are living lavish lives of luxury while the rest of the society in their so called communist country don't is ridiculous to me. Just looks like money hungry pigs to me, but they get some scraps and think its communism while their lords live in multiple mansions.

Good billionaires would be buying out politicians to bribe them to pass laws that are beneficial to society and buying out companies to pay their workers more and be less damaging to the environment.

But...they don't because that's a fantasy like the idea that a person with super powers would act like Superman as opposed to becoming a tyrant like Homelander.

Tankies are facists. More I see of them more I realize they are non US MAGA. Both leaning towards being ultranationalists with love for cult of personality leaders, authoritarian governments, and one party.

Only real difference is healthcare, but the shared love of preferring to trust in what they hope is a benevolent dictator to tell them what to do and get rid of their enemies is a common goal. Neither seems to actually want a government that fears the people that can easily replace leaders they dislike or abuse their power.
