While the liberal media write about white nationalists supporting Donald J. Trump, the Communist Party (CPUSA) has been broadcasting its support for the national Democratic Party and both of its candidates. But for some reason, our media have failed to take notice.
Since 1980, when Ronald Reagan was elected President, the CPUSA—which was then funded by Moscow—has been organizing what it calls an “all-people’s front” against the “extreme right,” and it usually depends on the Democratic Party as its preferred electoral vehicle. John Bachtell, national chair of the Communist Party USA, explains, “This battle has been waged over 35 years through election cycles, in the legislative arena, and in the battle to sway public opinion.”
The CPUSA endorsed Barack Obama for president in 2008 and his reelection in 2012. This year, party members are involved in the presidential campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), but are prepared to support former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if she is the eventual nominee.

That Figures.
I looked this up about a year ago. Who remembers how long ago a communist party candidate stopped appearing on the presidential election ballot? 1988. I thought it was later. Prior to that CPUSA and other socialist orgs in the US would NEVER consider a Democrat. It didn’t even consider itself on the same continuum as the mainstream American political system. It was REVOLUTIONARY.
Well, here we are in 2016 through the corrosive method of incrementalism: candidates that CPUSA not only tolerates but is working with.
CPUSA endorses Hillary & Bernie?
Whoa! Stop the presses! Man bites dog!!
