    None of the people I call tankies are left. All tankies are conservatives.

      Yes, yes. Everyone to your left is all the way to your right. But not like the actual right. Wouldn’t want to compromise with them.

        The actual right. They’re MAGA, not even basically MAGA but Tankies endorsed Trump directly.

          The actual right.

          If they’re the actual right, you’d capitulate to them and call it compromise.

          Tankies endorsed Trump directly.

          Did they?

            1. The DNC as a whole is consistently opposed to the GOP, congress has never been more of a ideological partisan divide than it is today.

            2. Yes

              The DNC as a whole is consistently opposed to the GOP

              On paper. In campaign ads.

              congress has never been more of a ideological partisan divide than it is today.

              Remember this when democrats cave on ICE and give Republicans their DHS funding.

              Yes

              I mean, when you interpret any criticism of any centrist as a direct endorsement of trump like you do, maybe. But that’s just as dishonest as your repeated shameless lie about only having 48 senators.

        Progressives. Supporters of a system in which all people are equal and autonomous but under the requirement that all harm one inflicts on another is averted via peaceful resolutions. Industries get regulated and wealth gets taxed. Prisoners never work unless it aids in their reform. The environment gets protected. All real power is held solely by the citizenship as a whole and an evenly spread body of representatives with checks and balances.

        Examples of progressives: DNC, most of Europe, doctors without borders, MLK Jr, etc. I’m especially fond of Switzerland.

        Opponents: Conservatives; Dictatorships, Fascists, Russia, China, racial and theological supremacists, proxy wars in the Middle east and South America where aforementioned states prop up puppet states leading to infinite indirect conflicts between the east and west. They even run election interference and psyops in the USA in order to weaken democracy and elect people like Trump. They wish to return to the old days of Autocracy and a clear divide between the elites and the peasants.
