Mr. Hartal, notwithstanding the Communists on Marxmail who have their 
own ideological commitment to the Democratic Party for obvious 
historic reasons, what is your excuse? Aren't you aware that the 
electoral strategy of Marxism until the Popular Front was to back 
communist candidates, or to critically support socialists or Labour? 
Don't you realize that the Democratic Party is not just a bourgeois 
party but one that backed slavery? And that backed Jim Crow until the 
Dixiecrats jumped ship? Your support for Obama doesn't even have a 
whiff of Marxist jargon, which is the least we could expect here.
