He’s a moderate Republican running as a Democrat. Absurd. This country keeps sprinting towards the right wing.

There’s nothing moderate about Kennedy, he’s a full-blown MAGA far-righter. Which is why he’s being laughed out of the Democratic primary, thank God.

As a foreigner, why isn’t he thrown out of the party? It’s what we would do.

There’s not going to be a primary, so it doesn’t matter.

There’s no mechanism to throw him out of the party. Party membership in the US is completely informal, unlike many other countries. You’re basically a member if you say you are and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

Gonna assume you’re trolling, because when I read mega dumb comments I give people the benefit of the doubt and assume they’re purposefully being obtuse. If you’re not, define communism

You need like the marxists leninist maoist definings or an explanation of the modern efforts being put forth by the underlings in the party you are likely to be voting for?

I’m not going to provide either to you because you have a computer in your hand but I’m sure you can find plenty of examples that fit even your definition of it.

Republicans in America are fascists and extremely right-wing - so a moderate one is both of those things.

All major parties in America are right wing. So he’s fascist/authoritarian friendly 100%.

I would. Sure, he has a couple conspiracy theories, like anti-vax stuff, but on most policies he’s a moderate

He’s being financed and propped up by wealthy fascists. What you would, is be easy to fool.

He’s clearly a radical. Listen to one of his public performances. Very, very radical ideas and ideology.
