It's funny how they talk about tankies the same way fascists talk about their enemies as both weak and strong at the same time.
We are both an insignificant fringe that should be ignored and belittled and yet it's important we vote because we run the risk of upending the apple cart of lesser evil by not participating.
Are we actually that important? I don't think so. The reality is that our criticism makes them feel bad and they don't like that. But they don't want to admit that they don't have an adequate rebuttal to "genocide is bad."
"The people who refuse to vote for anybody if theyre committing genocide are the real violent authoritarians" has an awfully similar energy to "actually you're the one who brought race into it by calling me racist, making you the real racist"

Because the only thing separating a liberal and a fascist is relative comfort.

Facts don't care about their feelings
