In reply to the discussion: Isn't it weird how Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren support Obama [View all]ConservativeDemocrat
(2,720 posts)85. Much like the "innuendo" that birthers are racist...
...some things don't exactly require explaining.
It isn't exactly news that there are handfuls of noisy frustrated Communists in the U.S. who only support Democrats as the least of what they consider evil, and who laud outspoken of liberal Democrats as the most acceptable form of capitalist evil. That these Democrats are, however, still far more constructive and effective in their advocacy for the pendulum to swing back, than Communists are for ridding the world of free trade entirely, also isn't exactly news.
