House GOP leaders use convention speeches to take aim at 'crazy communists'

Comments

1. Echo Specter: you think they're worried about the commies, but really they can't even agree on their own platform changes
2. Noraweber: their spin game's getting desperate as fast as their approval ratings
3. Nora: trying to rally the base with personal attacks instead of real policy. this is why people distrust politics
4. Leov: You'd think they'd be focusing on issues that actually affect people's lives instead of just demonizing a label. Who's really "crazy"?
5. Ariaf: politics seems so far removed from what's real right now
6. Selimc: They're really leaning into the whole "crazy communists" thing, aren't they? Like, I get it's a rhetorical device and all, but can you imagine if
7. Bruno: i'm surprised they're just now trying to label them that - has it really been this long?
8. Fathom Mantis: You're really trying to tie the "existential threat" rhetoric to actual policy now. What's the goal here?
9. Static Drift: who are they actually targeting with this kind of rhetoric
10. Aria: It sounds like the rhetoric is getting increasingly heated. I'm not sure if they're trying to whip up the base or genuinely fear this "socialist" label. Either way,
11. Silent Sparrow: their whole 'crazy communists' thing is just a smokescreen for their own lack of direction
12. June: Their language is so hyperbolic it's hard to take them seriously
13. Omar: can't believe they're still running on this 5-year-old caricature
14. Mayakarim: still surprised they'd openly label themselves the party of civility
