    Fred Hampton was killed because he was a communist, not a “leftist”. His FBI file, the statements from the police, and the statements from officials involved all explicitly blame his communist sentiment and work with communist orgs for the police state’s…attention…on him. He didn’t advocate for a liberal national party. Do not insult him by misrepresenting him or his death.

    But okay. That phrase just doesn’t separate her from Biden when that’s what the tweet is about.

      Thank you for proving my point by partitioning communists from the left. Sometimes I feel like I’m arguing metal subgenres. I just want everyone who isn’t a fascist or an enabler to band together so we don’t get a repeat the last century.

        American liberals are right wing is the point. So Hampton is correctly separated from the American left.

          His rainbow coalition comprised of a lot of different groups with differing left wing viewpoints. I know Liz is still only left by American standards, but I still think she’s preferable to Biden which mainly what I’m trying to say.

            That’s fine. Perhaps we can be gracious to those who are further left than we are accustomed to conversing with, in the spirit of Chairbrother Fred? I also am working on that, I’d be honored if others would join me.
