President Donald Trump has been warning recently that communism will pose a threat to the U.S. if Democrats win in the upcoming midterm elections.
Last week, he referred to Democrats as “hard core, godless Communists”.
But experts say his claims, echoed by Vice President J.D. Vance and other Republican leaders, are off base.
Here’s a closer look at the facts.
THE FACTS: No candidate openly belonging to the U.S. Communist Party has ever been elected to state or federal office, according to experts. Although there are fringes of the Democratic Party that have expressed support for communist ideas, experts say that they still advocate for a market-based economy and that it is inaccurate to paint the entire party with such a broad brush. Trump recently began referring to Democrats pejoratively as “Dumocrats.”
“The reality is that none of these major political figures in the Democratic Party, even those further out on the left, are identifying as communists,” said Marc Selverstone, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center for Public Affairs, adding that it’s an opportunity to portray Democrats as marginal figures.

Crap from Melissa Goldin, the AP Commiette. A really feral piggy.
AP? Not a credible source.
All you need do is look at the party name. They tell us exactly what they are, COMMUNIST.
All you need do is look at the party name. They tell us exactly what they are, COMMUNIST.
Of course, no open and declared Communist can be elected to any position in the US.
At least not yet.
So the Communists run under the Progressive, Democratic Socialist label, to cover up their communist sympathies.
Even leftists are recognizing this fact. Lifted from another FR post:
It's the same thing. And we'll have the same results.
Melissa Golden is a twit! A “news verification reporter”, whatever that’s supposed to mean!
Basically a leftist “fact checker “.
They should panic because it means that they will no longer spend their summers in the Hamptons.
Their villas will be confiscated by the state.
The most telling fact: They ALL vote the same way in the house and Senate.
Who pays the AP? Follow the money.
What a hilarious piece.
“Experts”:
1. Marc Selverstone, director of presidential studies at the University of Virginia’s Miller Center for Public Affairs. He wrote a book on international communism.
2. Harvey Klehr, an expert on American communism and professor emeritus at Emory University
AP = Always Propaganda
AP = Absolute Propaganda
Take your pick.
Is it too much to say that Democrat politicians aren't complete idiots?
Perhaps Democrat politicians might associate closely with Communist, hold Communist ideals, promote Communist programs, talk admiringly about Communist leaders, speak about the successes of Communist countries.
So, maybe these Democrats that do nothing but praise Communist and Communism are smart enough to realize that "openly" admitting to being a Communist is the kiss of death politically and act accordingly by keeping their Communism on the down low?
These are not the droids you’re looking for.
There sure is an abundance of trying deny being communists. What ever happened to the collective warmth?
They may not be card carrying members of CPUSA, but they’re still Marxists.
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks," Hamlet, Act 3, Scene 2.
They need to be referred to everywhere as “Communists” not “Democratic Socialists.”
Unfortunately, the evils of Communism are not taught in American schools, and in fact, Communism and Socialism are looked upon - and taught - favorably.
What’s that old saw about those who refuse to learn from history...?
**The Democratic Socialists of America is the largest socialist organization in the United States, with over 100,000 members and chapters in all 50 states.**
We need our own George Soros to make them a party, separate from the democrats. There are enough of them who think of the Hakeems and Goldens out there are traitirs.
