There is no Communist influence in the US or Canada. It's an imaginary threat you invented in your head. Perhaps if you had gotten a higher education you'd possess more advanced critical thinking skills to understand the world around you.
Bern get to keep the remaining campaign funds? Beachfront property and a couple of Audi A8's don't pay for themselves, and being that Bernie ain't worked a day in his life, he still crosses his personal finish line for the win.
So is that why we have all these Libertarian's in City and State governments and in the Congress? Not. If you are going to win big, the Presidency, you need to do it from ground up. The Libertarian "movement" has never gotten off the ground. I've never seen a Lib candidate on any state or local ballot and I've been voting since 1972. How the hell do you win the Presidency like that? And what the hell would you do if you did win? Pander to the Dems and Repubs, because you don't have any Congressional members from your own party? PS I just checked my state of VA. We have 2 Libertarians in office: Both appointed, not even elected. Paul Gagnon Chairman of Lee District (Fairfax County) Land Use and Transportation Advisory Committee. Jonathan McGlumphy Greenway/Bikeway/Sidewalk Corridor Advisory Committee.
You are no ordinary Constitutional attorney. You are an astronaut as well? An astronaut who just got back from a long space journey without radio communication? Why don’t you ask your Liberal buddies how Sanders was doing in the primaries against Hillary and Biden, before some media “Magic” and Super delegate rule changes, among other things. There is a growing Communist/Socialist sentiment, especially among young voters in the US. The media and the DNC have been able to supress Sanders after he was looking like he was going to take the primaries by popular vote. This may be over apparent fears the important Independent voters would swing heavily against Sanders. Versus Biden: https://www.businessinsider.com/two-new-polls-show-sanders-leading-with-biden-falling-2020-2 Versus Hillary Clinton: https://www.theatlantic.com/politic...ers-surge-in-polling-if-not-delegates/477198/ For more specifcs on how Bernie “Got screwed” out of the nomination twice, ask our resident Bernie Sanders supporters.
What is interesting is I have asked the same question to our Liberal posters over the years How they felt about Communism and I have never gotten an answer that was responsive to the question. Why might that be? The reason, it seems to me, is that active Liberal posters don’t want to say anything negative about Communism because they believe in it. However, these posters don’t want to come out of the closet and say what they believe are the positive things about Communism because they seem to know their credibility will be diminished if they do so. So I ask you this question for the third time: How do you feel about Communism?
That's a ridiculous theory. A better question is why are you so obsessed about Communism. In fact, why are there still Americans who fear communism, it's not even a topic in Canada. From your other posts, you don't understand what Communism is, and lump in all sorts of social policy and ideas together and call it Communism. Hard to take you seriously when you express these ideas.
Below is an excerpt of the National Counterintelligence Strategy for 2020 through 2020 of the United States. Although specific countries are not mentioned, they really don’t neeed to be. Or do they? https://www.dni.gov/files/NCSC/documents/features/20200205-National_CI_Strategy_2020_2022.pdf DEFEND AMERICAN DEMOCRACY AGAINST FOREIGN INFLUENCE Defend the United States against foreign influence to protect America’s democratic institutions and processes, and preserve our culture of openness. Foreign intelligence entities are conducting influence campaigns in the United States to undermine confidence in our democratic institutions and processes, sow divisions in our society, exert leverage over the United States and weaken our alliances. These campaigns are designed, for example, to sway public opinion against U.S. Government policies or in favor of foreign agendas, influence and deceive key decision makers, alter public perceptions, and amplify conspiracy theories. These campaigns can include the targeting of our democratic and electoral processes using influence operations that can be long in duration, have broad strategic implications, and include activities that are covert, overt, and illegal. Our adversaries regard deception or manipulation of the views of U.S. citizens and policymakers to be an effective, inexpensive, and low-risk method for achieving their strategic objectives. Our adversaries are using a range of communications media to enable their covert influence campaigns. Using false U.S. personas, foreign intelligence entities develop and operate social media sites and other forums to draw the attention of U.S. audiences, spread misinformation, and deliver divisive messages. To meet this objective, the U.S. Government will: Advance our counterintelligence capabilities and activities to detect, deter and counter foreign influence activities. We will strengthen and integrate our processes and capabilities to identify and address knowledge gaps and mitigate threats. Strengthen partnerships across U.S. Government departments and agencies; with state, local, tribal, and territorial governments; and with the private sector. We will strengthen partnerships especially with social media providers, technology companies, and academia – to raise awareness of foreign influence activity, better understand the threat, and provide timely, substantive warning of foreign intentions to interfere with or influence U.S. policy, officials, or the American public. Deepen existing and develop new foreign partnerships. We will strengthen collaboration with our foreign partners to raise awareness of foreign influence activity, share lessons learned and best practices, and inform decisions to counter threats. So our intelligence department recognizes current, active threats against the United States political process. You may not take me seriously, but how about the US Intelligence community? Or do you know better? Care to talk about Communism, yet? Edit: CIA.gov talks specifically which country is heavily involved in influencing our political process: Now, however, foreign powers increasingly are running intelligence operations with unprecedented independence from their diplomatic establishments. The number of formal and informal ports of entry to the country, the ease with which people can travel internally, and the relatively benign operational environment of the United States are tailor made for embedded clandestine collection activities. Thousands of foreign owned commercial establishments in the United States, the routine interactions of trade and transnational business and finance, and the exchange of hundreds of thousands of students and academicians, all potentially extend the reach of foreign intelligence into the core structures of our nation’s security. To cite just one example of the growth in numbers, Russia, reversing a sharp decline that took place during the late Boris Yeltsin’s presidency, now has an intelligence presence in the United States equal to its Cold War level, a sizing decision presumably indicative of the return on investment. One need not read too much history to know how successful past intelligence operations against the United States have been. There is hardly an area of national security endeavor that has not been compromised—repeatedly and deeply—by successful espionage. Strategic threats require a strategically coherent response. Instead of looking at the broader implications of these foreign intelligence operations, we have for the most part adopted a case-by-case approach to dealing with the threat they represented. And by concentrating our CI resources overwhelmingly inside the United States, rather than engaging the foreign intelligence service abroad, we have ceded advantage to adversaries.[d] Foreign powers have seized the initiative, and moved their operations to US soil, where our institutions are not constituted to work against growing foreign intelligence networks embedded within American society. Here, CI investigations may result in prosecutions for espionage or related offenses, demarches, or the expulsion of diplomatic personnel for activities inconsistent with their status. But with rare exception, their disposition is decided on the merits of each case at hand and not as part of a larger effort to counter the foreign intelligence service as a strategic target.[e] https://www.cia.gov/library/center-...s/vol51no2/strategic-counterintelligence.html
It's not my job to deal with your rather obvious mental illness. I have no time for your battle with Communism. Carry on with your battle it seems really important to you.
