While the 'boldface' is the bottom-line... each of these “isms” are distinct and their differences should be acknowledged. There are few “liberals” left in Congress. Most call themselves “progressives” but are truly “socialists”. Teddy K., Kerry, Durbin, Biden... are simply closet-socialists.
IMO, Joe Lieberman and Ben Nelson are good examples of “liberals”. As for “communists” there are more than you think... and when you think, think Congressional Black Caucus.
the only real difference is how much they believe they can get away with
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The communists among them would kill us if they could. They just can’t get away with it...( yet!). The Useful Idiots would do thinking it was saving the whales.
What gets me is the frickin’ everyday morons that vote for the fascists.
Every single one of them that I’ve talked to has this mentality:
Yes, I support [socialist] policies X,Y,and Z, but I’m not a socialist, and neither are the democrats.
