Thank you for clarifying, because I was confused. Like… ‘Are the Tankies in the room with us now, OP?’
What you’re saying sounds correct, because I don’t know anyone to the left of Harris who didn’t recognize that Trump was worse. While I think that I might have one friend who refused to vote for her in a swing state, I think that the BlueAnon folks really misunderstood the actual consequences of losing support on the left.
It wasn’t really, imo, that those folks wouldn’t show up. The problem was that I think a lot of folks never realized how much young blue-haired leftists dragged Biden across the finish line in 2020 by knocking on doors and convincing their uncles to vote Dem. I said throughout the election that losing those people wasn’t really a risk of losing their votes, it was a risk of losing the core enthusiasm and turnout organizing that Democrats had largely outsourced to Bernie Sanders’ base. And I could be wrong, but all that I’ve seen seems to affirm that this is exactly what happened.
If someone has evidence otherwise, though. please let me know.

I do find it funny that .world and their ilk will swear up and down that Blue MAGA and BlueAnon aren’t real things, but then will swear Tankies are a thing non-stop in American politics when none of them can agree on what they look like or do.
You ask a Republican to define woke, you wont get an answer beyond “Anything I don’t like to the left of me.” You ask a Democrat on here to define Tankie, you won’t get an answer beyond “Anything I don’t like to the left of me.”
So long as the person doesn’t defend authoritarianism and any hypocrisy of their preferred candidate, I’ll consider them an ally to me.
