There is no limit to TDS.

I also saw this somewhere on X, so I just went to this site and pulled up the same METAR

I’ll need to see some legit reporting/posts before I believe it.

I'm not sure that either comparison is good.  I know that some people on the right do the "everyone I don't agree with is a communist" thing as well.   

It just gets tired hearing those words (fascist, communist) tossed around by people who don't know what they mean.

Its called Type 2 TDS, where Trump's kind of deranged thoughts/words/posts are mimicked.  His CBS interview, they asked him about Mamdani, Trump called him a commie, interviewer corrected him that Mamdani is a socialist democrat, he just reiterated, Communist, don't argue.

Have you listened to Mamdani?  "communist" isn't far off the mark.  Communism is to socialism what nirvana is to Buddhism.

Socialism is merely a stepping stone to communism, Marx said that (paraphrasing). Yeah they’re technically different in some ways, but they’re also very intertwined. Frankly who gives a shit, they’re both bad - people try to use the technical distinctions as a “look how smart I am/dumb you are,” but reality is they’re not that smart and “you” aren’t that dumb. 
 

Bottom line - both bad, capitalism better (despite the problems that capitalism has), history has proven that for 100% of the earth’s existence since these systems originated.

It’ll be bad for America, not just NYC. Cancer spreads, don’t let it take hold anywhere.

I recall the system goes to communism when all institutions are replaced by the full coop of the people and the system runs itself and there is no need for a govt etc…but full on communism never materialized because shocker nobody wanted to relinquish power money and control.

Mamdani won. His policies are mostly poorly thought out populist ideas that have been tried to devastating effect in other places.

Virginia Libs also voted overwhelmingly for the state attorney general candidate who sent texts fantasizing about shooting a state level Republican politician in the head and also hoping his wife would watch her kids die.

Truly no dog in the fight, but I thought the GOP didn't care about politicians saying ffed up shit.

I remember many of you on here proclaiming the sanctity of the filibuster during Biden’s term (and even Obama’s). I am sorry you’re having to go through this, as I am certain you all are truly aghast at the possibility of your dear democratic norms evaporating.
