    It’s hilarious how out of touch Republican rhetoric is becoming considering there are a sizeable number of Democrats who think the party leadership and people like Harris, Biden, and Clinton are essentially right-wing politicians at this point.

    Calling them communists or socialists is quite the joke when they’d be more than happy to bail out corporations, protect predatory businesses, or pass draconian laws at the expense of the populace.

    It’s also fun to take the wind of out of the sails of far-right individuals online by pointing this out when they rant about the “socialist, communist, Marxists” running for office.

      They are right wing. The main issue is that it’s just impossible to convince the MAGA crowd to vote in their own best interest. So instead the battle ranges around suburbanites, who are generally well off and don’t want to change the system too much.
