That's the R's 2020 buzzword.

I hope the D's are able to respond that caring about people is a good thing, not a bad thing.

Even in the Mueller hearings, at least one R talked about D's being "socialists".

There is NOTHING wrong with caring about our society. I would much rather care about all than the 1%'ers.

You are right...all of us DU'ers need to make sure our kids, grandkids, and family know this. This is where it starts: our own circle of influence.

I'm tired of the insanity that the "voodoo" trickle down economics of the Rs is somehow better than helping all of us. I would MUCH rather see my tax dollars go to helping all folks than benefitting the uber-rich, who are just getting richer leaving the rest of us behind.

SCOTUS's Citizens United case is one of the worst things that could ever happen to the USA. The only way to combat it is to fight at all levels to make sure the inclusive nature of D's gets out there.

With you 100%, EllenG. I guess I'm a "100 percenter"!

but hasn't it been many years (decades?) since anyone on the national level has been accused of being a Communist?

The House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) was created in 1938 to investigate alleged disloyalty and subversive activities on the part of private citizens, public employees, and those organizations suspected of having Communist ties.

GOP operatives have been paying people to saturate these boards with that kind of shit for decades. I'm surprised that those boards are still around, to be honest.
