If Biden is your idea of a Communist, you really are ill informed and hopelessly out of touch with reality.

And your delusional if you think Biden is the future of the Democratic Party. I’d be willing to bet within less than 6 months Camel face is running the country. Biden and Hunter will have some well paid side hustle where they will quietly go off and out of the public spotlight living out a lavish life. Who will that leave as a VP pick? I’m not even sure how that plays out legally but you can bet your bottom dollar it will be a radical like Alexandria Occasionally Coherent or worst.

a middle of the road, humbled and scarred guy like Biden, who actually has read the New Testament (unlike Trump ). If Biden is your idea of a Communist, you really are ill informed and hopelessly out of touch with reality.

So Doctor Know-It-All, Tell us what Socialist, "They aren't bad people", sleepy (almost incoherent) Joe has done for the US in 47 years?......and how long until his running mate, the Wicked Witch of the West will be Prez?

[Neil]

Unless Biden becomes ill or is assassinated by some militia idiots I am absolutely certain he will serve out his term. And for corruption and obscene lifestyles he and Hunter are not even close to the Trumps and Kushners. Some of whom served jail time and some of whom are likely to do time in the future.

As for someone like AOC being a vice presidential candidate you are smoking some powerful stuff. Ain’t happening.

[Neil]

Whatever Biden has or has not done for the country, it's ten times what Trump did for the country in his first 70 years of life. Hard to make a contribution when you are disabled by malignant heel spurs, of course, so one must make allowances.

Biden helped pass the ACA, which provided health insurance to about 20 million people who wouldn't have had it otherwise. I'd say that pretty much outweighs anything any Republican president has done since Eisenhower .

Someone has no f'ing idea what a Communist is. Try reading something other than alt-right fantasies and libel .

I have noted that several times; an appalling level of ignorance exists in this country.

That’s like telling you to quit listening to the alt left news media. Ignorance? As if you go to bed one night and wake up to living in a communist country. Pretty sure it’s incrementally implemented and socialism would be the pre cursor to communism. Maybe not in my generation but I have kids to think about.

Not much difference in Neil spouting his BULL $HIT about Fascism.

Fascism is often considered a form of totalitarianism, in which the government controls almost every aspect of ordinary life. (Some left-wing forms of government, such as forms of communism, are also considered to be totalitarian.)

Fascist and Nazi: Liberal democrats fit that description better than than conservative republicans.

We shall see in the coming years if its liberals or conservatives that desire to control every aspect of US citizens lives...

[Neil]

Granted Joe Biden wouldn't make half as good a reality TV star as Trump did, he actually sounds a lot more coherent and sensible than Trump has these last two to three weeks. Trump sounds like a deranged and moronic sore loser who has no idea what our society and institutions are about. It's only about him, and he is a psychopath with no evidence of honor, empathy or simple human decency. He really would be much better suited to being a dictator of a banana republic or Eastern Bloc totalitarian leader. He missed his calling by 20-40 years and a few thousand miles .

What an accomplishment all at the expense of the tax payer. Do you offer free treatment Neil?

"Fascism is often considered a form of totalitarianism, in which the government controls almost every aspect of ordinary life. (Some left-wing forms of government, such as forms of communism, are also considered to be totalitarian.)"

You have no idea what you are talking about. Trump is most definitely a fascist, since he has worked since day one to suppress opinions at variance with his own, trying to fire civil servants who oppose him, and perpetuate his leadership and his nepotism despite having convincingly lost the 2020 election. He's also a racist trying to deprive urban (mostly black) people of their right to vote and then asking his allies to try to subvert the will of the electorate. It doesn't get more fascist than that, and thankfully we have a military with a history of staying out of politics so he cannot use his commander in chief role to perpetuate his corrupt and evil reign.

"Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe."

Yes, those liberal Democrats GW Bush, Rumsfeld and Chaney invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and managed to get a few million civilians killed in the name of liberty and democracy .

You do know the meaning of far-right, don't you? Apparently not.

[Neil]

"What an accomplishment all at the expense of the tax payer. Do you offer free treatment Neil?"

Of course, the tax payer shouldn't pay for anything that actually helps the poor and working class, according to Christians who seem to never have understood the New Testament. The government should only pay for tax relief of the wealthy, the military and subsidies for rich corporations . Not for health care, shelter or food for the needy.

I'm sorry for those of you nostalgic for the distant past, but serfdom, slavery, monarchy and the days of the robber barons are gone. You should be glad, since I'd bet your ancestors weren't part of the landed aristocracy or gentry. I know mine weren't.

[Rufus T. Firefly]

.............Christians who seem to never have understood the New Testament.

File that under the prior comment regarding the level of appalling ignorance in this country. Christianity is a rather good religion that suffers from a lack of Christians.

[Neil]

"Maybe not in my generation but I have kids to think about."

So do I. I'd rather they live in a Canada, Sweden or Denmark than a Hungary, Poland or similar right wing paradise. Most Americans are totally ignorant of the fact that the countries they call socialist are more prosperous, happy and free than the countries free of socialist things like universal health care, universal child care and government supported education, housing and social services for those in need. In fact, our country used to be so socialist as to provide housing, education and health care for returning veterans of WWII and their families. I guess that was Communism to citizens with your belief structures. Exactly what freedoms did you lose under Obama, Clinton and Carter? None? I thought so.

[Neil]

"Christianity is a rather good religion that suffers from a lack of Christians."

Amen brother.

And yet it was Trump the was freeing blacks that had been incarcerated under the Clinton/Biden anti crime bill. Biden admitted it was a mistake. What did he and Obama ever do about it...NOTHING

And the new Vice president as attorney general in California did a real bang up job of also incarcerating blacks.

"Pretty sure it’s incrementally implemented and socialism would be the pre cursor to communism."

You really should read some history. When Communism or communism has taken over a society, it has always been rapidly and by force. Examples include, obviously, Russia, China and Cuba. There is not a single example of social democracy (no ownership of the means of production; democratic institutions) has gradually evolved into a totalitarian communist society (state control of the means of production; no democratic institutions) by peaceful means. Not a single one. So you are worrying about something that never has happened and probably never will. You can be sure if some crazed militia group burns down the Capitol building (see A. Hitler, the Reichstag fire in 1933) the FBI, CIA and the US Army will fix them up a treat . Communism, to repeat, has never evolved from anything less than an armed takeover by totalitarian thugs. And even AOC isn't that, she's just the corresponding left wing lunatic to your current fascist President.
