First of all, you're having that "honesty problem"
again. Unless you just haven't been reading our
responses...
   CPUSA ran national tickets in 1936, 1940, 1968,
1972, 1976, 1980, and 1984.  (Also in 1924, 1928, and
1932- but of course you asked for "after 1932").

   Anti-Communists sound so bitter sometimes.  Of
course, those of us in our Party don't base our
affection on what the CP did 65 years ago, but on what
it's doing now.
   Has it ever occured to the ultra-left that there's
more to politics than bourgeois elections?

"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of 
labor, and could never have existed if Labor had not first existed. Labor is 
superior to capital, and deserves much the higher consideration."  ---Abraham 
Lincoln
