According to your own post it’s the commies who fought for the broken system we have today. I personally just blame Eisenhower and his supporters, but you’re free to blame who you want.
That being said I’ll vote for whoever makes it so I no longer have to pay hundreds of dollars every month into a system I’ll never benefit from.
The same way I know a warehouse that takes 3 boxes in for every 2 boxes it sends out will eventually fill up. Social Security cannot fund itself, and once my generation (millennials) hits retirement age, there will not be enough young people to pay for the burden we put on the system.
It isn’t magic, you need to pay the piper or default, those are your two options.
Again, if that does happen, it won’t be commies that do it. In fact, commies will cut the defense budget and appropriate to social security. But we cannot do that for… reasons.
Defending mccarthy in any way is a defence of his actions. Communists existing in high offices is not an excuse to carry out those actions. You cool with republicans mass purging democrats from their positions because they don’t like their political beliefs? Murdering them? Deporting them? Throwing them in prison or worse, blacksites? Because that’s what you’re supporting and enabling with this shit.
McCarthy’s famous list he claimed was of communists in the U.S. government changed length every time he brought it up. That sounds like something someone who was wrong would do.
And history has shown McCarthy wasn’t wrong.
See: William Remington, Solomon Adler, Frank Coe, everyone named by Elizabeth Bentley really.
Now imagine what your life would be like if those damn commies hadn’t fought for an 8 hour day, 5 day work week, social security etc…
A system I’m going to pay into all my life but never use because it can’t find funding? I’d rather it go away ASAP.
Yep. It’s definitely the commies fault it can’t find funding.

How do you know it won’t be around? Do you know something I don’t?

McCarthy wasn’t wrong?
Did your pawpaw force you to read John Birch pamphlets as a child or did you come to this strange belief in adulthoold, without being groomed into it?
Holy shit lol. You’re supporting the imprisonment, assassination, deportation and disappearing of people simply for opposing capitalism.
And you owe practically every workers right you have to those communists. Talk about a self own.
No, I’m just saying there were communists in high offices during McCarthy’s tenure. Where in that did I defend capitalism, or bring it up at all?

Fucking cringe.
Are you seriously suggesting the Red Scare was fine because two superpowers were, in fact, engaged in espionage against each other?
McCarthy was getting started early, considering he was a child during the events of the article.
McCarthy’s famous list he claimed was of communists in the U.S. government changed length every time he brought it up. That sounds like something someone who was wrong would do.
Yeah, and we all know the Salem Witch Trials were totally validated after all these centuries right?
Are you being serious?
How does that relate to anything being discussed here?
