    I got into a heated one the other day with a so-called SocDem that kept dunking on liberals

    When I told him I was an ex-leftist that stanned Bernie hard but shifted towards moderate because I got tired of getting stepped on by tankie jackboots he just claimed "we're not all tankies"

    Then he went on to accuse me of regressing for becoming a liberal, called me Blue MAGA, and devolved into calling Biden a senile rapist when I dismantled his arguments against him

    Gee, for someone that's not a tankie and insists you hate them, you sure do love throwing around their lingo and talking points Mr SocDem

    So apparently dunking on libs and calling Biden a senile rapist is something you can only do as a tankie.

    Anyone got any recs on where to start reading Stalin?

      These people with broken political barometers who think everything is tankie are just like the chuds who think everything is antifa cultural Marxism. In both cases, they're completely unprepared to meet a real one.
