The notion that Biden represents a lesser evil compared to the chaotic reign of Trump is a common argument. However, we must not forget that there exists a moral threshold below which neither choice is acceptable. To suggest that enabling a literal genocide can be considered a lesser evil is a morally bankrupt stance.
Saying that voting for Biden is a moral obligation to prevent the return of Trump perpetuates a dangerous fallacy. It implies that the democratic party is immune from scrutiny and accountability, no matter the atrocities they commit. This line of thinking allows for a never-ending cycle of justification, as long as there’s somebody considered worse, the democrats are granted a blank check. This is nothing more than a form of gaslighting, manipulating the public into believing that their only choice is between two evils, rather than demanding a better standard of leadership and true representation.

Tankies when American presidential elections: “Fuck that, I’m not voting for a lesser evil.”
Also tankies: “Yeah, Putin is reactionary, but he opposes US imperialism so we should support him.” Or, when they see a centrist: “Pick a side, coward!”
Tankies when an American presidential election: this is the same liberal kayfabe that’s been going on for our entire lives and the best thing we can do is point out what its true function is.
Tankies on Putin: he’s just one guy, you’re not describing a Tankies because we don’t believe in your Great Man Theory fairytales. Feel free to rephrase once you know literally anything about this topic.
On centrists: wrong again Tankies just call centrists reactionaries. Y’all are right wing.
Your only excuse for being this confidently ignorant is if you’re 12.
Cry about it. This is what happens when all your analysis is based on idealism and western propaganda.
Putin is a reactionary and we very much dislike modern Russia, however, right now, he poses a threat to western hegemony and Imperialism, the biggest contradiction in the world right now. Solving this contradiction will massively benefit the third world and plunge the empire into a deeper crisis.
Lastly, there’s a massive difference between critical support (for Russia) and complete support (for China). Also, “tankie”… lol
