“1. Name a single communist candidate running for office or is currently in office in the US government. I'll wait. And btw, anyone to the left of Trump is not a communist. Just so you know.“
Other than Bernie Sanders, AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and many other socialists.
The Democratic Party has basically adopted an anti-capitalist, socialist platform of Government ownership of the means of production, elimination of private property, Collectivism, etc. The rest of the party, outside the people I mentioned, just refuse to use the label out of fear of the stigma associated with it. They only dumped Bernie Sanders and began rallying around Biden when they realized they could lose with Sanders being the nominee. Biden doesn’t use the socialist label.
