The word is "communist", which is absurd when applied to this center-right politician. Unfortunately many people are so ignorant and have ingested enough anti-communist propaganda that they will believe it.

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!

I didn't read the article and that's definitely not the C word I was expecting. I'm too desensitized to their trashy behavior 😭
They intentionally called her that so you would think of it, so it's not you, it's them.
Government doing stuff is communist
Unless it's monitoring which bathroom trans kids are using. Then it's freedom.
Or monitoring vaginas.
Did they know what Communism, “Bolshevism,” was? They did not; not my friends. Except for Herr Kessler, Teacher Hildebrandt, and young Horstmar Rupprecht (after he entered the university, in 1941), they knew Bolshevism as a specter which, as it took on body in their imaginings, embraced not only the Communists but the Social Democrats, the trade-unions, and, of course, the Jews, the gypsies, the neighbor next door whose dog had bit them, and his dog; the bundled root cause of all their past, present, and possible tribulations.
-They Thought They Were Free— The Germans 1933-45 by Milton Mayer
It's been a mainstay of reactionary politics since the rise of Fascism in the early 20th century. This book follows ten "friends" the author made after the war who were members of the Nazi party.
The Dems can never be right wing enough to get the respect of the Repub party or its voters. I wonder if they will learn that before humans cease to exist.
They're just throwing terms around that they think sound scary. Trump keeps referring to her as a socialist communist fascist, which doesn't even make any sense.
Deport Elon to Russia.
What if we just eminent domained all his shit lol
Never happen but after years of his government support it'd be just desserts
Actually, the US "national security" laws are extremely strict and would provide plenty of leverage to lock that fucker up. But he's rich, of course. This stuff only applies to poor people.
Not ideal
Like a shit onion, you peel back the sexism to reveal another layer, and that layer is lies.
You think the deeper layer is lies!? Elon has been showing us all exactly who he is ever since he said (with zero evidence) the rescuer of the 12 kids trapped in a Thailand cave was a "pedo guy"! Like all MAGAs, it's all lies, all the time...
Like an onion, you peel it back and it's still onion. It's lies through and through
You mean like an ogre
I have never put made French ogre soup, and I’m not going to start now.
If you knew the younger Elon, it goes back way further than that — talk to the people who started PayPal about how Elon supposedly started PayPal….
Agreed. But many view that as the moment his publicist/image consultants lost all control of him.
It was the rescuer of 12 kids trapped in a cave in Thailand that Musk called a "pedo guy". Unless he did it more than once, which is quite possible.
That was what I meant! Thank you for clarifying.
People itching to call her a c**t in the comments of that article. Which was the point of the ad - so chucklefucks could be all
Yes! 100% she is. wait, he they said communist? she's that too
about a woman they don't like
The Republican Party is being run by a bunch of boys who never matured past middle school, and their candidate admits he hasn't really changed at all since the first grade.
I know a lot of South Africans, and they didn't send their best when it comes to Elmer.
Kamala is more right wing than Bernie, AOC and Warren.
Those leftists still support her as they could work with her to drag things back. Can't work with fascists much.
