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

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
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.
Strange to see an anarchist go to bat for tankies, let alone proclaim to vote, but it’s at least interesting.
i have plenty of criticisms for MLs, but i am willing to work with them on shared goals; it’s kind of the fundamentals of a coalition. the problem is i don’t really have shared goals with liberals and whenever i’ve try to ask liberal politicians to advance anything i care about i get either ignored or hostility.
showing up to vote every year is not the same as engaging in electoral politics. i have no patience for political campaigns, and i usually just protest vote anyways.

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

i show up because it’s annoying having loudmouth liberals smugly talking shit without any pushback
Sorry to hear you feel any criticism of tankies is “loudmouth liberals smugly talking shit,” but thank you for helping prove the point.
