Perhaps in light of your recent post here, https://lemmy.world/post/42467256, you may stop to reconsider your comments about tankies.
Where are these tankies that hate Mamdani so much? What do they hate him for?
I have seen a few, here is one I saved from some time back.
A lot of things get removed from .ml so its hard to go back find things sometimes. If you are around lemmy a while you will find quite a few takes from tankies.

Why should I? Tankies at the end of the day are counter productive to organizing and simp for authoritarians.

🤣 zero (intentional) irony. Not you, you couldn't possibly be taken by a CIA psyop!
Consider this: if that's true, why does the West take in Nazis and brutally crush AES? Perhaps you could actually dig into what Operation Gladio and Operation Condor did.

Anyone can, we are all people.
Still, tankies are simps for authoritarians. Further they discourage electoralism which is a big form of organizing here in the west. I’ve said it before, elections are not the end all be all, but it is a mistake to neglect them as they do add credibility to our movements and shifts the overton window to our favor. If anything tankies are the best form of the left that J Edgar Hoover would have wanted for us; unwilling to enage and toxic.
Anyway, that is a summary of why I don’t think tankies are worth much time. Unless you have something worth talking about Im not going to engage further.

Like this, two things can be wrong at the same time. Tankies have a hard time understanding that.

Idk the post calls him infiltrator but there is -54 likes. Even .ml likes mamdani.

So I had a look at the voting score and only 5 of those down votes came from .ml, most are from .world accounts.

Hard to say, I have seen a few that outright don’t like him. But more of a he isn’t as far to our liking overall.
