Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, is this a tankee???
Not to totally shit on everyoneâs parade (because this is going to get hate from everyone probably), but not that far off. The term tankie was used as an insult to leftists who defended communist dictatorshipâs use of tanks to attack (and kill) protesters. Walz did deploy the national guard to attack protesters during the George Floyd protests. Not a tank though as far as Iâm aware.

This is misinformation. The USSR was not communist and its supporters are not leftists.
Thanks for letting us know about Walzâ deployment of the national guard against BLM protesters tho, I checked it out thanks to you and itâs true. I also read in the same article that Walz put Georgeâs killer in prison, so he seems like a mixed bag. Definitely better than what passes for the bare minimum in American politics.
ROFL They are making him seem like the best candidate to me! The âunemployed minorsâ is wild, itâs as if the MAGA donât believe students are real. (to prevent future comments saying itâs fake, I want to say that I donât actually believe this is real. I shouldâve been clearer, to be honest).
âIt is satire, yes, it was very Onion-y. It made all the âquiet partsâ which Republicans used to keep silence beforeâŚLoud and Clear. If they had simply kept âunemployedâ but deleted the reference to couches, I wouldâve actually believed this to be true. As Fox News is highly falsified news, I wouldnât have been able to tell the difference from their normal denial of reality.â My response to another commenter, I never said I believed it.
Haha, yeah, the MAGA can only see them as future workers instead of mere children! Also, the couches bit really extorted a chuckle out of me. The meme about JD Vance (not based on fact) is certainly penetrating the political discussion. As JD Vance is weird enough to make it mildly believable.
Yeah, I mean itâs clearly satire, but really only because of that one line. I donât think they were actually trying to fool anyone, but if they were, all theyâd need to do is delete âunemployedâ and I wouldnât have thought this was fake at all.
And âcouchesâ obviously.

You are really skirting the edge of Poeâs Law here. Not sure you could cut it any finer.
I think the issue is with debt. Both parties are positioning themselves as populists and are going to increase spending but the money has to come from somewhere.
In the fiscal year of 2022, Minnesotaâs state debt stood at about 17.75 billion U.S. dollars. Comparatively, the stateâs debt was approximately 5.6 billion U.S. dollars in 2000.Jul 5, 2024
These stats mean absolutely nothing and give zero context with how youâve presented them, and you couldnât be bothered to clean up your comment when you copy/pasted or give a link so others could follow.
How does this compare to the average increase of debt in other states? What kind of increase in budget did his programs add compared to other programs states initiate? What kind of impact or votes did Walz conduct that actually affected the budget and in what years?
Debt increases, we get no new programs. Minnesotaâs debt increases, they get free school lunches, healthcare products, etc etc. Not really a convincing argument presented here or anything to even have a conversation about.
Your voting is showing. Debt is the short-attention fixation of the greedy.
Unsupervised female health decisions? Is this a real thing you would see on the television in the USA?
Its sad that we are at least two who would legitimately not know if this is a meme/joke or irl in the USâŚ
Edit: seems like weâre more than twoâŚ!
Couches. If itâs a couch, itâs probably parody.
Remember, trump has said theyâre not talking about couches.
Edit: For the record though, look for the âwhat a monsterâ interview. I canât seem to find the original clip
Still scary that its only one word from being almost impossible to tell from parody
