No. It was communist.

The society itself was not communist, but It was definitely ruled by communists. Even Marx called himself and the people who followed his ideas communists, not "socialists seeking communism." When people say a country was/is "communist," they mean it's being ruled by Marxist-Leninists, not that it's achieved the hypothetical level of society that usually only Marxists are familiar with.

The Stasi was the secret police of communist East Germany, not the Nazis.

Says the person who thinks third parties are viable, would you like me to name the dozen socialist parties that have failed?

Lmfao. You mean AOC who the DNC hates and has struggled for years to freeze out of the party? Seems like some small third party has you fooled.

This the Jimmy Dore that you think is a "lefty"?

Jesus, why are there so many crybullies on the right?

Probably because it's worked so great for their leader Trump. It's probably been around longer though. I bet conservative pundits in the 1950s sounded the exact same when whining about desegregation somehow hurting them.

Probably just paying them to stay on message about Ukraine and stop rambling about random culture war issues like alleged elementary school litter boxes.

The Democrats are going to give you ranked-choice voting so they can potentially lose your vote....

Yes. That's because the Democratic Party isn't some monolithic machiavellian organization.

This is not chemical warfare...

The only one committing chemical warfare in Ukraine right now is Russia. You probably wouldn't know about that though.

He's probably been bitterly complaining about it and the campaign is running local ads to appease him.

This is exactly what the Lincoln Project thinks is happening, iirc they called the ad buys the campaign buying him a "safety blanket" to protect from the "mean" ads.

You know American politics isn't monolithic right? There's 50 different state governments all doing their own thing, that's why he's stuck on the ballot in some states and stuck off it in others. This isn't a symptom of a large scheme by the democrats.
