If Bernie is our candidate, you just know that "Communist Jew" will be a major weapon in their arsenal of sleaze and hatred.
They'll be direct about the Communist part and label him as a "Marxist," "Stalinist," "Totalitarian," "Anti-American," "Weirdo," etc.
They'll have to be more subtle with the "Jew" part and use stuff like "New York values," "He's from Brooklyn," plus a whole new mountain of antisemitic slurs that we can't even begin to imagine. They are masters at labeling someone "The Other."
So your first post in GDP was about Sanders being labeled a communist Jew by the other party and how we deal with it? And then you had some backlash.
Surprise, surprise!
You could have had your first post in GDP about the thousands, tens of thousands of children that have been killed by cluster bombs or during the invasion of Iraq, but instead you went right for the Communist Jew and had some push back and then run to this forum to complain.
Doubt you even understand why your post was offensive.
