I promise the Republican Party

Me looking for Kamala Harris's "radical Marxist policies"

God I wish Harris was a radical Marxist

Democrats: "let's pass some reasonable reforms to temper the ill effects of deregulated capitalism"

Republicans: "that's socialism and you're a Marxist!"

Youth: "we want reform so I guess we like socialism!"

Republicans: "the radical left is indoctrinating our kids!"

I promise you, the Republican party doesn't care who they offend as long as it's an out-group.

Genuinely, watching Harris be referred to as a radical communist hurts me

I was just impressed trump graduated from communist to Marxist. Getting more specific and less accurate!

I’m more of a practical American socialist than a radical communist (since that’s unlikely to happen here) but it offends me because republicans are just so ignorant. The average Republican essentially has no idea what socialism, communism or fascism actually are, and conservatives have been using this as a scary label for my entire life.

Im not offended as much as I am disappointed in the Democrat party, why aren't they as cool as the Republican say they are. Whenever Trump calls them "far left communists" I think "damn I wish", instead they're boring center right liberals. Also I was promised by Trump that the Democrats would end capitalism, kill capitalists, instiute a worker owned economy, open the borders to immigration, enforce Trans rights, promote actual diversity, and unify the left under the red banner.

Democrats should ask themselves why Republicans are more worried about imaginary communists than actual Democrats

Or… just start pushing actual socialist policy; since everything gets called socialism anyway, we may as well enjoy it.

Both sides are wrong, just that Democrats are center-wrong, while Republicans are far-wrong.

Can confirm. Every time the reps call Kamala a "comrade" or "Communist" I die a little bit inside.

Is it forbidden in English to use commas?

As a communist... Yeah

I promise the republican party doesn't care and just says whatever is most offensive in their eyes.

And it doesn't make communism sound scary at all, but rather mysterious, alluring, and worth checking out.

Fucking commies, taking our tea and throwing it overboard just because they didn't want to pay taxes. We should send an armada to put them all in jail.

Capitalism (or at least the current form of it) and right-wing parties should be illegalized worldwide.

This is so true.

The only thing the righteous hate more than a heathen is a heretic.

Sectarianism is a fractal war where the only indivisible faction is the individual.

Republican and Democrat parties are Traitors to the Republic. Give Nancy and McConnel the Gallows.

As i always say its not the communists its the tankies. Communists want a different economic system but still agree on the equality of people and they can either want an autocratic or democratic system(from what i see simple communists usually want democracy). Then theres the tankies. They support full autocratic governments that are usually not even communitst like china and want a violent revolution. Often times they are even transphobic. Its the one group of people that annoys me more than nazis because they are basically nazis but on my side of the political compass. Also im socdem and have to explain to everyone that no that is not communism but tbf most people dont like communism because they teach its bad and not because they got to the conclusion with their own knowledge.

The biggest danger to US democracy is not Donald Trump or the Project 2025 christofascists, it's the crushing ignorance of the US population. The gutting of the public education system means that many if not most Americans don't understand that, "fascist" isn't just a name like, "poopie head" that you call someone. It has a definition and clearly defined policies/behaviours that closely align with Trump/Vance/Johnston and their enablers. Communist and Marxist are very clearly defined things. Harris/Walz are pro business which means they are definitely NOT communists or Marxists.

If the US population were better educated and more knowledgable they would dump these Retrumplican clowns and rebuild the Republican party from scratch.

Close y'all are almost as bad as Republicans but not quite. It's still hella embarrassing to be associated with the democrats though.

🎵If only it were true🎵

Communists just think you are a little bit thick and/or uneducated. Maybe a little bit cute. Like a child who doesn't know what words mean.

Catching strays to piss off the communists. I love it.

I resemble that remark.

That sounds like a double win for the Republicans

"we're are"

But are they calling them communists as in "state communism" or as in "a commune where everything is shared equally"?

That is the question!

It's for their own party members, same reason Democrats call Republicans fascists.
