 It's okay he's our resident communist.  The cognitive dissonance is slowly breaking.  Give him time.

 I’m not a communist, Hitler. (See how dull and pointless it gets instantly?).  

More precise and useful would be something like, Kamala Harris is a Bay Area Progressive of mixed immigrant ancestry, and the first woman of color to be nominated for president by a major party.

Donald Trump is a former Democrat who tapped into a latent populist impulse among disaffected white voters, transforming the GOP into an unrecognizable, isolationist and xenophobic form in 8 years.  

Each reflects the collapse of centrist elements in the American partisan duopoly, and each draws 50% of likely voters.

Or we can call each other inaccurate names.

 Kamala is a far left extremist.  Trump is a traditional democrat.  Goes to show how far the media has dragged everyone into voting for a socialist. https://image.nostr.build/a9cf1efb768f767589cf09789dce9413ecac90f0191e9935d5ef8b37ca0ac046.jpg

 By your own definition trump is a "former democrat". That mens Kamala must left of that.  Correct?  What's further left than democrat?  That's socialist.  Kamala is spot on socialist.  ✅
