Scott. Democrats have been aligned with Soviet / Communists / Marxists since, well, going on a century now. Hell Bernie has been calling for Revolution for decades - is this propaganda?
Socialists with a Pen or Communists with a Gun, eventually the Gun wins at a terrible cost. Sometimes, hopefully, Freedom eventually wins but usually there is a significant amount of blood.
Socialism/Communism are incompatible with Freedom. Capitalism (properly governed) can support Freedom.
Today's Russia is working both sides of the US political divide against each other, and they are succeeding. To not recognize this is to only fool one's self.

15 years ago, bernie was a fringe laughingstock. now he’s absolutey mainstream in that party, and his views haven’t changed. the party is sprinting a million miles
to the left. they attacked Biden for saying Pence is “ a decent guy”. Democrats are no longer allowed to say that about anyone who disagrees with them.

Actress and activist Cynthia Nixon tweeted, @JoeBiden you’ve just called America’s most anti-LGBT elected leader “a decent guy.”
Please consider how this falls on the ears of our community. Did she lie
Some have said Biden is putting politeness over policy.
In effect, he is saying that Pence’s record doesn’t matter.
PS in many circles Pence is an Ahole and his history reinforces that view are you suggesting Pence isn't as far right and Sanders is left
or do honestly think the Republican party hasn't moved

the gop hasn’t moved much. can you provide specific examples of changed policy beliefs within the last 15 years? the dnc thinks
men can use whatever bathroom they choose, that late term abortion is a cause for celebration, that you cannot ever say anything positive about trump
no matter what he does, and that we should tear down every building in the nation and rebuild
with green energy.
do you think it’s impossible to oppose gay marriage, and still
be a decent guy?
i actually think the gop should
flip on gay marriage. but i know a huge number of very decent people
who oppose gay marriage, despite what a bigoted, activist actress happens to believe. Mother theresa wasn’t a decent person?

on what specific policies, had the GOP changed course? What major changes have they undergone?
sanctity of life
individual responsibility
small federal government
individual liberty
strong national defense
charity for those in need
power of the free market to lift people out of poverty
fiscal responsibility ( the debt is making that a weaker and weaker claim)
there are jerks in the gop, liars, and hypocrites. but that’s still the policy platform.
look at bill clinton. they’d hate his policies today. kicking deadbeats off welfare, and telling them
to go back to work? slashing taxes on capital gains? balancing the budget? who
among democrats is calling for a return to these things?
