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.

    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 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.

    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.

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

    Okay I think now I understand why she lost.

    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.

    Why won't she say the word "fascist"?

    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.

    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.
