Why won’t she say the word “fascist”?
He is not communistic at all. Dudes a fascist capitalist
Harris gets this but understands this fucks with MAGA
Lady. He’s a corporatistic oligarch’s wet dream. I’m no fan of communism and I’m no fan of Trump, but that does not make Trump a communist.
Well, the Russian and Chinese Communist parties were really state capitalists, so maybe in that sense.
This has got to be about DT taking golden shares and 10% cuts from companies.
Kleptocracy may have been a better word, but like another poster above, this was probably to throw the c word at some republicans. They hate c words.
Kleptocracy may have been a better word
Agreed.
What is with all of you who think a former senator with a law degree does not know what communism is and isn’t intentionally comparing him to a “communist dictator” because MAGA hates communism?
she believed “titans of industry would be guardrails for our democracy.”
Spoken like a true useless centrist liberal. Spit on the left while licking boots on the right.
The fuck?
She knows what communism is. She knows this fucks with Trump’s base.
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.
Here we can see how far to the right Democrats have gone using Republican rhetoric circa 2004. Another 10 years from now they’ll be retweeting Trump’s social media posts.
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.

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.

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

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.
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.
Democrats are so fucking bad at winning, it’s embarrassing
hog-whisper
Can’t find what this means anywhere. Care to elaborate?
A “hog” is a conservative. “Hog-whisper” infers she is trying to appeal to conservatives with “communism bad” rhetoric.
I’m guessing it’s some relative of a dog-whistle, idk in what way though.
Political acumen of a worn tire.
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.
nobody got the reference when Bugs Bunny said it.
To be fair, they were 8.
Okay grandma let’s get you back to bed now…
American headlines are full of Kamala lately to help her market her stupid book, as is tradition.
The fuck? I mean Xi isn’t even a communist dictator. You gotta be a communist to be a communist dictator.
