      In this political climate, the goal of many outlets is to grab attention and leave impressions, superceding any sense of obligation to inform accurately.

      It is well understood that whenever a Republican sees empathy in policy, it’s communism. Reductionistic. Idiotic.

      Attempting to paint Kamala as someone who is calling Donald Trump a communist, is a specific attempt to lump her (and by extension, democrats) in with the mouth breathers who invoke communism, meant as a slur. As in, she’s just as reductionist and stupid as the Republicans.

      She isn’t.

      We can certainly exchange stories about survivors of the Warsaw Pact, but that just doesn’t enter into what’s going on with this particular story.

        And this is why people dislike engaging with our side. Professorial condescension is not a great way to convince people to agree with you. I’m sure you’re the life of every party.

          Like your other point, this is tangential.

          How much further, and how many more exchanges do you intend to have, discussing anything other than what is most required for this very specific smear/hit?
