Before accepting any callers, the show host asks the CPUSA Co-Chair if CPUSA endorses any candidate for president. He says that the CPUSA has never endorsed candidates from other political parties for president. So CPUSA is not endorsing Biden.

The first caller identifies politically as an independent. She starts by saying that she's never heard of the Communist Party of USA and she's afraid of communism. She asks why the communists want to take away her guns and then she says that we need to build a dome over America to protect America from climate change caused by China.

CPUSA Co-chair responds by saying that CPUSA doesn't want to take away your guns. He says that the US should stop shipping guns all around the world. He says that gang-related gun violence is related to the drug crisis which needs to be addressed. Then he says CPUSA is not a party of big government, that it is a party of helping working class people. He says "we don't need filthy rich people telling us how the country should be run". He says that corporations control the US media. He says that China wants a clean environment for their children.

The second caller identifies as a Republican. She says that her father was a dentist in Chicago and that she believes that communism would have prevent her father from inventing the "gold inlay" by imposing regulations on him.

CPUSA Co-chair responds by saying that the narrative that communists want to stifle innovation is a lie. Then he turns it around and says that McCarthyism restricted the rights of communist Americans. He says that if we look at history, it is the Americans who oppressed Communists and not that Communists have oppressed Americans.

The third caller identifies as an independent. He asks how CPUSA is funded. He implies that CPUSA is funded by the "Communist party of Russia".

CPUSA Co-chair responds by saying that CPUSA doesn't receive funding by foreign government or foreign corporation unlike other candidates of other American political parties. I think he may be referencing AIPAC. He says that CPUSA is funded by donations from working class people.

Holy shit these callers.

my dad organized with the communists at the YMCA but under communism he wouldn't have had that freedom that capitalism affords him

are you funded by the communist party of Russia?

the only way to solve global warming is by putting a giant dome over the USA. I

Lesser evilism "the struggle continues" liberal enabler CPUSA?.

We don't endorse but......

even a centrist Biden presidency could prevent further setbacks for civil rights, women’s reproductive rights, immigrant rights, and labor rights provided there is mass pressure from below. ...if it does come down to Biden vs. Trump, who would be more likely to forgive student debt, expand healthcare, protect immigrant families, and take actions to mitigate the climate crisis? Who are we more likely to convince to shift their decisions in a more progressive direction? Who would our Cuban, Venezuelan, and Nicaraguan comrades prefer to see in the White House, considering the U.S. imperialist blockade loosened up during the Obama administration? Our short-term tactics and strategy are not limited to voting for the “lesser of two evils,” 

Therr were other parties ballot and they throw out DNC propaganda. How's it been going since then CPUSA? How's that imigration, climate crisis, and foriegn policy been on this "lesser evil"? give the Republicans what they want on the border and immigration without addressing our foriegn policy.

Deeply unserious Fascist enablers.

Shit like this tuns me off.

Ok lets watch it.

"On one side you have a fascist in Trump and the MAGA movement. On the other a progressive coalition"

There it is! Can't even call out Biden in the same vien as Trump enabling fascists under this capture "coalition".

We can dunk on the 2A USA Dome women all we want, but honestly, she seemed very genuine to me. She's obviously riddled with right wing induced anxieties, but when she said, "If you're gonna say we're taking all the guns, sure I'd give mine up, but..." it surprised me a little. She sounds like the kind of person who, if her fears could be dispelled, would be open to changes and reforms around the 2A. The only thing keeping her in this mindset is this fantasy that she'll get shot by some gangbanger. There is no way to know what percentage of the population she represents, but it's interesting nonetheless.

Her comments on the "US Dome" were clearly one of defeatist sarcasm because again, her position was rooted in this fear that China is doing nothing and will never do anything. Obviously, WE know that's not the case, but she clearly has no one casting a light on that shadow for her. She doesn't think we should literally build a dome, she is using this extreme example of "the only thing we can do" to solve the issue because it's clear that she also believes "no one else is doing, or going to do, anything about climate change".

There was no climate denial on her part, there was no "from my gold dead hands" rhetoric on guns. Just pure fear and defeatism.

Damn, I wonder how they got that organized, that's kind of neat in a reaching out to the terminally TV glued types.

I love the CPUSA and I'm within the organization.

Do tell me about it sometime.

Edit: won't play with certain VPNs. God he's so fucking old. Could we get a leader who isn't over 60?

Jesus christ he refers to the Biden administration as a "progressive coalition". So genocide and corporate capitalism. Go fuck yourself, Joe Sims.

Oh, really? I'm in the CPUSA. Tell me about it. @dead@hexbear.net
