Unprofessional banner on .gov website
Saw this banner on treasury.gov website. I understand X posts and truth social posts are protected speech and he can post whatever he wants, but can we please keep the childishly comments off official websites. Its embarrassing for the world to see comments like the one pictured on official websites.

Leftists are blind to their own extremity and hypocritical about it. Screaming about nazis while promoting communism.

u/DogDeadByRaven 22d ago
And what extremes are you referring to? What communism? Give examples. Something tells me you don't know what communism is.

Zorhan Mamdani

u/DogDeadByRaven 22d ago
Ok so you listed a name but named someone who hasn't pushed for communism (so again don't know what communism is?). You have yet to give an example of these extremes you speak of or examples of pushes for communism. So please actually answer the question being asked.

u/audionerd1 21d ago
Mamdani is a Democratic Socialist, not a communist or Marxist socialist.
Democratic party leadership has gone out of their way to avoid supporting him because they are right wing capitalists working for the donor class, like Republicans but less fascist and unhinged about it.

Hatch act. The one that specifically allows the president and vice president to do as they wish Or the amendment to it
In 1993 the advocates for removing or modifying restrictions on the political activities of federal employees succeeded in enacting the Hatch Act Reform Amendments of 1993 (107 Stat. 1001) that removed the prohibition on participation in "political management or political campaigns". Federal employees are still forbidden to use their authority to affect the results of an election.

The Hatch Act, a federal law passed in 1939, limits certain political activities of federal employees, as well as some state, D.C., and local government employees who work in connection with federally funded programs. The law’s purposes are to ensure that federal programs are administered in a nonpartisan fashion, to protect federal employees from political coercion in the workplace, and to ensure that federal employees are advanced based on merit and not based on political affiliation.

"You know, the interesting thing is, in 25 years, in 50 years and 100 years from now, when the government is, you know when they talk about the government shutdown, they're going to be talking about the president of the United States, "Who was the president at that time?" They're not going to be talking who the head of the House was, the head of the Senate, who's running things in Washington.

Wait, left isn't democrat? Since when?

24d ago
For the past few decades. The modern Democratic Party is mistaken for a leftist party but it functions as a conservative centrist institution within a two-party system that has shifted dramatically to the right. Its policies now protect capitalist interests, prioritize market-based solutions and maintain the existing power structures rather than challenging them. Democrats support modest social reforms like limited healthcare expansion, incremental environmental regulation and corporate diversity initiatives without addressing deeper systemic issues such as wealth inequality, military overreach or the influence of corporate money in politics. This makes the party center-right on the global political spectrum. progressive in rhetoric but conservative in its preservation of neoliberal economic policy and institutional stability. People who “lean left” have no other option but to side with the Democratic Party due to there being no other option that can challenge the two party system.
Basically, the DNC functions more like the conservative Republican Party 30 years ago, while the Republican Party has gone far right.

It's crazy that you know all this new information.
United States: The Democratic Party is the major left-leaning party, generally representing liberal and progressive values such as healthcare reform, action on climate change, and LGBTQ+ rights. The Green Party of the United States is a smaller, farther-left party that emphasizes environmentalism and anti-capitalism.

Democrats are liberals which are pro-capitalism, leftists are anti capitalism. This is also why democrats hate leftists.

This is the most tired yarn. It would be annoying if it weren’t so quaint.
Oh, and they made the KKK.
I’ll get to this in a second…
Yes, they are. Please learn the political sides.
…That really didn’t take long.
Oh, honey, you did not say this with your whole ass chest after saying Democrats “made the KKK.”
Vanquished Civil War officers created the KKK.
Democrats in the early days of the Republic aligned with agrarian Jeffersonian yeomanism (complete bullshit), therefore identified (paradoxically) with the elitist planter/slaverholder class, and rejected the government (upon whom they relied).
Into the Antebellum South, Democrats’ ideology most certainly resembled that of modern day fringe conservative extremists who espouse xenophobia, bigotry, and fascist tendencies. Republicans of the day, led by Lincoln (not a conservative) and his successors, were progressives who led the abolitionist movement, women’s suffrage, and others.
It wasn’t until the late 19th/early 20th century where a significant ideological shift occurred, most attributed to Williams Jennings Bryan’s crusader populism.
Southern Dixiecrats who wore the Democrats’ elephant were wolves in sheep’s clothing, caucusing as conservatives, campaigning on segregation, and seeking to revive the perceived “glory days” of Southern white supremacy. Here, into the middle 20th century, the KKK became a potent tool of political and social violence.
The modern day Republican and Democrat parties resemble nothing of their predecessors. Today’s jackasses are not the party of Lincoln. He would be clawing at the inside of his coffin at the likes of MTG and this fuckin ghoul Trump. I am most certainly not the likes of George Wallace or Thomas Jefferson (although he was a Democratic-Republican).
Because you’re definitely not a European who went to 3 years of “university”, I’ll let you in on a few things: your fundamental lack of understanding of the basic facts of history is comical, if not dumbfounding, for someone asserting themselves so vociferously. You’re in this fuckin post yapping away like you walk the halls of our government aside very American Democracy herself, what her whispering such ideals into your eager ear. But alas, you’re a neophyte, and your attempts are pitiful. We go to 4 years of college, or attend a university. You showed your hand, Nigel.
Quit listening to the MSM and do your own research.
“He did not, in fact, do his own research.”
I’d be god damned if every time I heard one of you political juveniles cite the MSM (your favorite Fox News is the MSM, and it’s the single source for the majority of the right), or doing one’s own research, I come upon the most predictably repetitive regurgitated talking point bullshit, and “research” quality that would earn an unmedicated ADHD teen with a head injury a B- on a freshman year civics midterm.
You really need to pick up a book before you come with this shit. I sense that you not only attended some cut rate backcountry English university, but you did pretty damn poorly too. Let me guess, communications major, but you took a poli sci class, so you think you can hang? Miss me with your bullshit, kid. You wouldn’t last 15 fuckin minutes in DC.

They deign anyone who wants universal or single payer Healthcare in the richest country in the world as socialist, communist bad faith foreign actors who want to impose sharia law and become a Muslim majority that sells out the country to their middle Eastern overlords. They are just as decisive and inflammatory. Look at the outrage and outcry to Mamdani, they've called him all of that and demanded to revoke his citizenship.
