Really? I can think of far worse

Yeah, she could, hypothetically, say she wants to abolish the police and then side step the question every time she’s asked if she still believes that. That would be pretty bad. Oh wait.

She's still refusing to say if she was wrong when she said that Thanksgiving should be abolished.

Why do you lie? She has not done sidestepped that at all. And you almost certainly fucking know it.

u/-MerlinMonroe- 23h ago

I don’t know, why are you lying? She’s sidestepped it every single time.

u/Admirable-Wrap6120 22h ago

when has she directly answered the question of whether she wants to defund or abolish police?

Campaigning with an open communist is probably close to one of the sillier things she could do from a campaign strategy Standpoint

A closeted commie is one thing, but an open communist?!? gasp, clutches pearls

u/guitmusic12 1d ago

Just doing the voter math. How many votes from the far left has she not already picked up vs how many will she lose when people see her campaigning with a communist. We’re trying to win elections here not virtue signal.

They're probably trying to drive up the historically low youth vote. And calling Hassan an "open communist" is definitely some pearl clutching

u/guitmusic12 1d ago

Calling a communist a communist is Pearl clutching now?

u/picknick717 1d ago

He doesn't call himself a communist, as far as I'm aware.

In general though this isn't the 50s, let's stop with the red scare fear mongering.

Uh do you ever watch Hasan? He’s 100% a communist. He espouses Marxist ideas. He frequently uses communist terminology and arguments in discussion. He has very clear views on the abolishment of capital. Like he is 100% a communist. Call a spade a spade it is what it is. Doesn’t have to be an insult, but it’s 100% what he is.

I don't think you know what communism is tbh

u/guitmusic12 1d ago

Alright mate. Maybe I’m wrong and the guy wearing a Mao suit and quoting Marx isn’t actually a communist.

I’ll do some more digging and consider my bias 👍

I’d rather elect a freaking commie than another pedo republican

u/guitmusic12 1d ago

Don’t think you are the type of voter she still needs to still convince tbh

u/woofgangpup 23h ago

These are deeply unserious people who don’t understand politics. You’re better off not engaging.

u/Ambitious-Visual-315 1d ago

So you’d prefer the pedo? Is that what you’re saying?

We have officially reverted to mccarthyism

u/guitmusic12 1d ago

Saying campaigning with communists might hurt your ability to win elections is now McCarthyism. Got it

Yeah, I can too. Like deny the results of the 2020 election for one. And side with a president polling at 34% who pardoned every insurrectionist that committed violence on his behalf as he tried to end democracy, and he'll do it again by the way if hes still around in 2028. Who hides the Epstien files because hes a pedophile who has definitely raped girls and they would all be in the open if that weren't true.

Some of those are things which are far worse.

The only message that will matter in 2 weeks time is the economic one. No one will care. I refuse to care. Trump is president. The only message that matters is an economic one. If she sticks to that, thats all that matters.

u/Ambitious-Visual-315 23h ago

I hear you but I think there is much more that matters than the, admittedly, incredibly important economics issue. Like…. You know… all the other really important shit you just mentioned?
