What? No criticism that in the Democrat primary of 2016 I voted for the man who went to Moscow for his honeymoon?As the old joke goes, a man asks a young lady "would you sleep with me for $1,000" and she laughs and says "yes".
"would you sleep with me for $5?" She is incensed, and says "what do you think I am?????"
He say "we've already determined that....now we're just quibbling about price."
That's you. Every permutation of communism is the same.....some just don't tell you about murdering others until they're in power.
Your self-esteem requires you to admit the mistake you made out of ignorance, agree to never support any variation on the oppression spectrum......that includes voting Democrat.
In general elections I always vote a straight Democrat ticket. I have known and liked members of the American Communist Party. They disagree with me on many issues, but they disagree while being agreeable,
In 1950 Joe McCarthy claimed that Communists were in the State Department. That was a lie, but I wish it was true. If Communists Party members had been shaping American foreign policy we would have avoided the War in Vietnam, and the Iranian hostage crises.
There never was a remote chance of a Communist dictatorship in the United States. The danger was of a nuclear war that would have ended civilization.
