Popularity of Communism within Congress

Based on the articles I have written recently, the question should be how communism is viewed by Congress which hopefully would be a representation of the electorate.

Our House consists primarily of Republicans and Democrats. The question is, how do the two political parties perceive communism in America?

The following information was produced by Gemini AI at my request.  AI’s output has been reordered for clarity reasons only. 

Note:  Resolutions are documents written asking questions and requesting a vote on an issue – for or against.  However, they have no legal power in themselves.  Resolutions are a precursor to potential subsequent bills being written which become law if voted on and passed.

Conclusions

The resolution voted on in 2023 was written with a ‘generic’ definition of communism. The democrats voting presumed that the definition in this case was ‘global communism’ (e.g., Lenin or Stalinism). Many of the democrats felt it was a totally unrealistic to vote for a system that was created outside our country.

Whereas, the 2026 resolution was targeted toward the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) version, with Democrats assuming it was an American version of communism.

In the 2023 resolution, it had 86 democrats voting ‘Nay’ – indicating they approved of communism.  And in the 2026 resolution (specifying DSA only form of communism) it had 192 democrats voting in favor of DSA communism.

The point of this article is to demonstrate that the Democratic party within Congress is currently comfortable with the DSA flavor of communism within the United States of America.  And as such, it is reasonable to presume that within the democrat party there are at least ‘192’ people who approve of communism. Whereas, 212 Republicans and 8 Democrats voted against communism in the U.S.

If we have that many people in Congress who will even consider communism in this country, we are in a serious state, and consequently in danger of losing our country’s freedom and rights!

It is understood that this article is coming out a bit late on election day, but this information was just obtained in the last two days. 

The important takeaway for the reader is to consider this official information when you vote.  Our country depends on you voting intelligently, and with an informed process when choosing who and what to vote for this session.
