    i vote in primaries and municipal/midterm years

    I’m glad to hear it, but I clearly wasn’t talking about people like you. That view isn’t shared amongst the legions of people pictured in the OP who screech that voting for a Democrat under any circumstance is the exact same as voting for a Republican.

      that’s cause it’s a caricature constructed for the purpose of engagement baiting

        Absolutely not. I run into people like this on Lemmy all the time - usually from lemmy.ml like yourself.

        I strongly suspect you’re intentionally being obtuse to propagandize, as befitting of your home instance and likely political beliefs.

          it’s literally a caricature though, just because you feel like it applies to everyone you talk to based on instance tribalism doesn’t make it less of a caricature

          you are projecting your own motivations, i’m just a girl in the world

            Caricature implies exaggeration; as I said, there are plenty of people like this, and 90% of the time they’re @lemmy.ml, like you. I didn’t decide to dislike people from other instances. I keep running into tankies from there saying the same propaganda, and pointed it out here today because it doesn’t surprise me at all that you pretend none of them are like that - you’re simply biased.

            you are projecting your own motivations, i’m just a girl in the world

            In true tankie fashion, “I couldn’t possibly be arguing in bad faith, therefore if you point out that I am, it must be that you are arguing in bad faith.”

              you are so quick to stereotype i can see why you became a cop

              i’m an anarchist and toxic liberals crying about the instance i’m on does not give me incentive to change, i certainly don’t want to hang out in places dominated by you guys catgirl-sorry

                I’m not crying about it, I’m just pointing out it’s another anecdote in a large pile of anecdotes - mostly for the benefit of people new to Lemmy who might be unaware that people defending tankies tend to originate from lemmy.ml.

                Honestly I’m a bit regretful I even brought it up, just because it gave you an opportunity to magnify the diversion and waste everyone’s time.

                But yeah, in a thread about how toxic tankies are, it’s no surprise there’s going to be tankies coming in to pretend that’s not the case. Hardly rocket science. I was just trying to point out that you’re probably a tankie because 99% of the tankies I’ve met on here come from lemmy.ml.

                    Sorry to hear you feel any criticism of tankies is “loudmouth liberals smugly talking shit,” but thank you for helping prove the point.

                    Strange to see an anarchist go to bat for tankies, let alone proclaim to vote, but it’s at least interesting.
