“Bernie Bro” had that nice alliteration. But maybe you could go with “Uncommies”

Call them tankies every chance you get. This is what tankies are now

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago

Pretty fun how the anti war crowd are tankies, but the people advocating for sending actual tanks to the conflict du jour are not tankies.

I had someone argue the other day that Biden didn't start two new wars because there aren't boots on the ground.

A: we don't know that.

B: why are there two new wars being financed with our money?

If boots were on the ground, they would just find some other reason why it's not a war. I wish saving all of their comments to "this you?" them later when trump is president and they are suddenly against all the stuff they're for was a worthwhile endeavor

Anyone not voting for Biden is a tankie!

-Libs probably

[–] sovietknuckles@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

We're not done until Biden calls them tankies

They tanked biden's reelection!

Uncommies sounds good because it plays into the angle that Russia was behind this and every liberal knows Russia is communist.

Uncommitted already kinda' sounds derogatory to me anyway.

Might be influenced by my monogamous self though.

I don't know what they'll call them, but they'll sure use "Commitment Issues"

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

I think 'noncommittal voters' or something very clinical like that so they don't have to talk about the actual issue.

If they can't commit to Biden while he is fighting terrorism, why should anyone believe they will commit to him if he stops fighting terrorism?!?! smuglord

  • Russian puppets? "Russian rats" has alliteration but libs wouldn't use that. In public anyway.

  • Susan Sarandons. Alliteration, baby!

Will that be an option in November?

[–] NewLeaf@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Staying home and smoking a huge Doobie is an option

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

Thats what I'm finna do. Only instead of a doobie I'll be sinking into my couch with edibles and watching anime probably

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

if you have anything worth voting for locally or if your congressional rep is somehow actually harm reduction then i think a bunch of people voting for down-ballot stuff but not biden would give somebody somewhere indigestion.

alternatively i like the idea somebody on here had of write-in "genocide joe" so if it's close they have to argue in court that those are votes for biden if they want to count them

[–] leftofthat@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think this would stick in a history textbook which means it's too smart for them to use.

[–] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Something Islamophobic for sure.

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

The turbans

It won't stay derogatory. After Brandon slips into a coma, they'll try to change history to say that it was all just proof that the organic support for Hillary went back further.

Putin Lovers.

I am working from the idea that the stupidest idea is the one that will happen, so it would be like "Unvaxxed against Trump" or something cacophonous
