“Democracy sustains capitalism. Capitalism thrives in a democracy. And, right now, we are dealing with, as I called him at my speech on the Ellipse, a tyrant,” she said, referencing her rally last year on the White House Ellipse in Washington. “We used to compare the strength of our democracy to communist dictators. That’s what we’re dealing with right now in Donald Trump. And these titans of industry are not speaking up,”
Fucking hell did she really need to throw in the red scare bullshit?
So the headline is misleading at best but i still feel like the ambiguity raised by inserting a term like that was just piss poor form and just about par for the course on both journalism and the messaging clarity of the DNC.
It isn’t that ambiguous.
Her calling a fascist capitalist a communist shows how she is not equipped to deal with America’s problems though.
She’s comparing the current big baddy with the old big baddy not calling a fascist a communist. It’s the same message from her just IMO your understanding of it shows how the ambiguity plays out. It creates a narrative that undermines her point because people aren’t gonna get it.
I am able to read thanks.
Completely agree
It’s the dumbest scare tactic "you want the government to provide for you rather than corporations?! Shame!
