Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"This is communist; this is Marxist; this is fascist.”
— Donald Trump, quoted by the New York Times, describing Kamala Harris’ economic agenda
So she's far-left, extreme-left, and extreme-right all at the same time?
Trump doesn't really know or care about what words mean. He cares about how words feel.
Unfortunately, many people are the same way.
It's the dementia. He should seek treatment.
Marxist is not extreme left, just a kind of left. You can be anything from a socdem to a bolshevik while remaining Marxist.
And stalinism one can call rather right and fascist, at the same time with Marxism used as a foundation, and it's not as easy as you'd think to find counterarguments to what they've come up in USSR to tie a totalitarian state to Marxism.
So there's one thing which is all these at the same time - stalinism.
By the way, if we give Trump's word hu-uge benefit of doubt and forget for a minute that we are humans, thus tribal apes, this is not that wrong.
She's talking about regulating prices and other populist and pretty socialist things, but she doesn't talk about killing oligopolies and preferential treatment. Which is kinda close to state capitalism with populist elements. Which would in rough strokes make things closer to stalinism in economic part.
Don't Think. Just Trump.
