Dunking on Tankies from a leftist, anti-capitalist perspective.
Rules:
- No bigotry of any kind.
- No tankies or right-wingers. Liberals are allowed so long as they are aware of this
- No genocide denial
We allow posts about tankie behavior even off fedi, shitposts, and rational, leftist discussion.
Curious about non-tankie leftism? If you've got a little patience for 19th century academic style, let a little Marx and Kropotkin be your primer!
Marx's Communist Manifesto, short and accessible! Highly recommended if you haven't read it

No, no, you don't understand, Bernie would've won if only he was MORE left. But if he did win, the DNC would've just canceled the primaries.
Less about him not being left enough, and more him not fighting enough. He should have never shut up about how the Dems betrayed him and the people, and campaigned on that, instead of falling in line. I guess you could argue it being him not being left enough, but I kinda see it as he's too old to have that same stubborn drive anymore.
