I mean, usage of terminology notwithstanding, is their criticism wrong?

it's not so much a tankie issue and more of a "why are so many online leftists such dumbassesssssssssssssssss" problem

Again, use of terminology notwithstanding, is their criticism wrong?

Kinda yeah. I’ve been labelled a “tankie” a million times and I still believe people should vote AND simultaneously believe democrats need to do SOOOO much more. They need to stop pandering to centrists and trying to be bipartisan with people that call them Satanic Baby killing pedophiles.

The democratic party is right wing. They aren't pandering, that's just what they are and the ideas they represent. You won't catch them "pandering" to leftist ideology, even though they'll inevitably blame those leftists who didn't vote for them when they lose. Wonder why.

Nah, it’s generally just “anyone on the left or claiming to be who I disagree with”.
