Lmao going with both of those at once. Tankies, famously connected to establishment democrats.
I remember a time, long ago, when people were allowed to just, not like a particular politician without being accused of all this conspiracy nonsense. Internet echo chambers have poisoned people's brains to the point that they can't imagine anyone thinking differently from them or having different values or priorities without them being secretly manipulated by sinister forces. It's ridiculous.
Amazing, 2nd account I've seen call them that. Which is so wild, especially since before then they would have been calling Geneva a dirty republican or Russian bot for being so critical of the dnc
I mean, they're still basically calling them that with "tankie."
I can't even keep track of who's supposed to be writing our checks anymore. I'm working for the Putin-Xi-Soros-Hamas-RNC-DNC conglomerate. That's clearly the simplest explanation of why I hold my views, it couldn't possibly be the reasons I actually say.
Oh nvm it's the same person just made a new account because other one was banned

Check out his post history if you want to see a hard-on for smearing Platner
They're allowed to dislike and criticize him, that doesn't make them an "establishment democrat tankie."
Have you considered the possibility that two people could make a subjective judgement about someone's character and come to different results? Or that, having come to those results, they consider it important to share them and convince others of their position?
I looked at their post history, and the last post they made about Platner had you right under it with the same copy-pasted response. Now, should I assume that you posting frequent defenses of him means you're being paid by his campaign? Or, is it perhaps possible that you came to a conclusion that you're passionate about? And if so, is it perhaps possible that they came to a different conclusion that they're also passionate about?
It doesn't even make any sense. I guess the DNC is also paying them to criticize Israel to, what, make their cover as a tankie more convincing? What's even the game here?
It's just nonsense. Frankly, I don't have a strong opinion about this person because I don't live there, but when you default to these accusations in response to any criticism, it doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in your position.
