        She lost and bears more responsibility than anyone else for why we’re in this situation.

        If she stepped aside for a better candidate, donald trump may very well have lost.

        But that wouldn’t be good for her or her rich buddies.

      Media around the world has been filled with political commentaries from Trump. They’re just mixing it up with the kind of loser

    Communist? Trump is many things. Many horrible, disgusting things. His political ideology is selfishness. His platform is greed.

    Calling him Communist makes me think you don’t know what Communist means, and have only ever heard it used as an insult. Like how “nimrod” has come to mean “stupid” because nobody got the reference when Bugs Bunny said it.

    American headlines are full of Kamala lately to help her market her stupid book, as is tradition.

    I kind of feel that on the whole, if the Democrats are going to choose a battlefield, “who can more-effectively misrepresent the other side as communist” may not be the most favorable one.

    She didn’t say that.

    She did use the words “Communist dictator”, but she then described Trump as a tyrant, and in a way that you could easily infer that she was calling him a communist dictator but she didn’t directly say it. Of course, the press are running with it.

    I think she’s trying to hog-whisper again and just like all the other attempts, they’re not landing with fucking anyone.

    Just another over-media-trained, focus-group-brained Democrat. How can they be SO shit? Where’s the actual opposition party and why haven’t we supported it yet? How is someone else not mainstream?

      Democracy sustains capitalism. Capitalism thrives in a democracy. And, right now, we are dealing with, as I called him at my speech on the Ellipse, a tyrant. We used to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators. That’s what we’re dealing with right now in Donald Trump.

        A “hog” is a conservative. “Hog-whisper” infers she is trying to appeal to conservatives with “communism bad” rhetoric.

    The fuck? I mean Xi isn’t even a communist dictator. You gotta be a communist to be a communist dictator.

    I feel like this is a ham fisted attempt at maga-style “communists are bad so everything I don’t like is communist”.

    But he has a cult following, there is almost no way to break off any of the maga group, and now she looks like an idiot to anyone educated.

    The democrats just need to run on a platform of “I’m not trump” to win the “left” vote and run a campaign of restoring government services in red states.

      This is exactly why they’re actively becoming putrid ghouls and abandoning every progressive issue they can. They think that the left will side with them even when they have nothing left wing about them, because at least they aren’t as fascist. I’m gonna be honest, they need to lose in the midterms, or we’ll have 2 parties that deny climate change and hate minorities forever.

      This has been proven to be false. Twice within the last decade even

      Oof. This is exactly why Republicans control the entire government. Turns out running on a platform of “I have no ideas or plans to change anything but at least the letter next to my name isn’t an ‘R’” doesn’t motivate voters like you think it would.
