Firstly, a Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, used to describe a person who sides with the Tanks in events such as the USSR's use of force against the Hungarians in 1956 and the CCP's against tiananmen square and other protests across China in 1989. They support Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the Chinese occupation of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Tibet, etc. They oppose NATO, and will use any excuse to shame or drag through the mud western europe and north america, they will even use Israel's genocide as an example while doing everything in their power to keep the war going. Some of them are the maintainers for Lemmy, but explicitly not Piefed, and they have a very strong presence here, read up about it here: https://lemmy.world/post/29072279

Secondly, I personally think Harris' plan to tax unrealized gains over $1M would have been an amazing step forward for this country, and that she would have continued Biden's legacy of expanding medical care, expanding protections for gay marriage and LGBT+, pursing green energy solutions, and protection public lands.

I personally think the DNC's platform of reversing Citizens United is absolutely necessary to save this nation, and I think we would see the most progressive congress in this nation's history if we could get at least 60 DNC senators rather than the 48 or less we've had for over a decade.
