55. We are the Democratic Party, we are not the communist party.

The communist party and the Democratic Party are not friends!
They are another political party.
They have their own candidates. We don't want them and they don't want us!

The communist party is over there ---+ You can find them on a street corner during any protest. They have banners and signs identifying themselves. Then, they go back into hiding.

We may agree with the communists on anti-ICE policies, but we also agree with much of the GOP on data centers. But we are not the GOP. It's just that both parties seem to agree that large data centers are just not good for their communities.

We don't collaberate with rival political parties.

End of message.
