I'd argue that tankies are doing a bangup job of making Lemmy look unappealing. And in my country at least half of the parties (supposedly) left of the "social democrats" (neoliberals) are tankies, which is actually a huge problem for recruiting new voters for parties that want more worker's rights, and some of these tankie parties are also literally voting with the extreme right.

i.e. ¿Por qué no los dos?

    You're German. What you're describing is proportional voting where issues matter more than parties in your country.

    You're basically sitting in the luxury car version of a democracy complaining the engine works too well.

    Look at your last election results, you're really complaining that the Social Democrats are tankies?

    German democracy has a lot of niche systems and ways of operating. I'm not talking about Germany but even there the AfD result is overwhelming of greater risk than tankies. So you're being quite ridiculous.

    "I'm afraid the center right Christian Democrats and the Social Democrats are all tankies".

    That's some bull sheeeeeit.

    That's not what rumschlumpel said. Also I wont tolerate whataboutism to defend tankies here. You are everywhere in the thread defending tankies and in the modlog you were banned in other places for bootlicking. So I am putting a stop to your time here.
