The Democratic Party has moved well to the right since the 1970s.

>>3364493
No, but some were in the bed with communist front groups in the past, most notably Henry Wallace. You've also had many socialists of other stripes elected to local offices in the first half of the 20th century.

Bernie Sanders is still a senator.

>>3364534
Bernie is not communist, he is a democratic socialist.

>Implying Bernie even knows what that means

>>3364536
The only difference between Bernie and a communist is that he believes in changing the system from the inside rather than through revolution. The underlying ideology is the same.

>>3364557
Bernie Sanders was more radical in the past but both his ends and means are fairly moderate in the grand scheme of things. He didn't even call for nationalizations, putting him to the right of the 1948 Democratic platform and the 1945 Labour platform.

>communism is when the government does stuff

So the kaiser reich, post 19th century France, and post ww1 britian are all commies because of social security and welfare?

I thought we were talking about Bernie?

Yes, just like all those communist parties in Europe became Democratic Socialists when the wall came down.

Just like that

>1987 Italian general election
>The Italian communist party gets 29.9% of the vote, making them the second largest party

>1992 Italian general election
>The Italian "Democratic party of the left", the direct successor of the Communist party, gets 16% of the vote, making it the second largest party

Communists should've been line up and shot the moment the wall came down.
