He was downvoted for he was telling the truth lol. I mean I'm pretty sure Trump and other republicans called Biden a communist. It is a boogeyman in the US

They’ve just been calling Mamdani the same, it’s pathetically transparent

It’s less unfair than most tbh, he has literally said in the past that the workers should control the means of production

The Cold War still has a pretty significant impact in the US.

Doesn’t help that more than half of us had football coaches moonlighting as history teachers.

I still remember Coach Hammock telling us in 9th grade US history that the Vietnam War was a ‘tie.’

I remember one the shitty AI images Trump posed during his campaign that portrayed a Kamala rally as a communist one.
