In a major development that will certainly be ignored by the mainstream media, longtime pro-Russian communist Angela Davis has announced that she will vote for Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee for president.
âI have serious problems with the other candidate, but I am not so narcissistic to say I cannot bring myself to vote for her,â Davis said.
The recipient of the Lenin Peace Prize, Davis was a Communist Party candidate for vice president of the United States when the CPUSA was funded by Moscow and provided cover for Soviet espionage activities.
Davis is a lesbian activist, in addition to being a communist and supporter of Democratic Party presidential candidates. A vegan, she has lately adopted animals as the latest victims of the white oppressors.
Regarding the November 8 election, she declared, âI am going to the polls next month and I am going to vote against Donald Trump.â
Her âVote Hillary to Stop Trumpâ message isnât the first time that Davis has voted for a Democrat. She voted for Barack Obama before, saying Obama âidentifies with the Black radical traditionâ and that there was âglobal euphoriaâ when he was elected in 2008. âWhat we accomplished four years ago was the impossible,â she said in 2012, arguing that âWe cannot allow [Republican Mitt] Romney to become the next president.â
Davis was once on the FBIâs most wanted list for her alleged involvement in a murder. She beat the rap and went on to have a âsuccessful careerâ as a college professor and never disavowed her communist beliefs. In fact, she says, âI have always been a communist.â Yet her speeches cost students as much as $20,000 per appearance.
Until Obama ran for president, Davis had not voted for a major party candidate for the highest office in the land. She said, âIâve actually never voted for one of theâŚtwo major parties in a presidential election before Barack Obama. I believe in independent politics. I still think that we need a new party, a party that is grounded in labor, a party that can speak to all of the issues around racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, what is happening in the world. We donât yet have that party.â
There remains some confusion about whether her comments at the University of Texas at Austinâs first international Black Studies Conference, âBlack Matters: The Future of Black Scholarship and Activism,â amounted to a direct or indirect endorsement of Hillary.
What we can be sure about is that the liberal media will treat it as a non-story.
The liberal media published endless stories about David Duke, former Ku Klux Klan leader, endorsing Trump. But we wonât hold our breath waiting for stories about Davis endorsing Clinton.
For the media, extremists only exist on the right.
Despite her long service to the cause of communist oppression and various communist dictatorships, the official invitation for the Davis appearance at the University of Texas at Austin falsely said she âis known internationally for her ongoing work to combat all forms of oppression in the U.S. and abroad.â
Her votes for Obama and her promise to vote for Hillary Clinton represent a decision by top communists to continue working through the Democratic Party. The CPUSA endorsed Obama in 2008 and 2012.
âAmerica needs a landslide against Trumpâ is the headline over an article currently featured on the CPUSA website. The story by Joelle Fishman, chairman of the CPUSA Political Action Commission, says a âlandslide unity voteâ is necessary to âto repudiate sexism and elect the first woman president,â and that âbig progressive gainsâ can be made nationwide if Mrs. Clinton and the Democrats win big.
The CPUSA political agenda includes more immigrants voting in U.S. elections without voter ID laws.
Fishman indicated that the CPUSA was originally working with the Bernie Sanders for president campaign but is now backing Hillary. âThe Sanders campaign brought discussion of socialism into the mainstream,â she said. âIn many parts of the country where the Party was involved we have experienced a growth in membership.â These members are now being told to work for the election of Mrs. Clinton.
During the Democratic national convention, she said, the Communist Party âhad a staffed table for all three days of the Progressive Centralâ event organized by the group called Progressive Democrats of America. âMembers of congress, delegates and grass roots people came for various presentations.â
She explained that âcomradesâ came from several states, but that âHaving the convention in a city with an organized Communist Party made it possible to have a much larger presence and participation compared to the last three conventionsâŚâ Fishman said, âWe were in contact with several delegates during the convention to discuss developments and learn what was happening behind the scenes.â
She added that the CPUSA presence in Philadelphia âshowed that the Communist Party is a welcome part of the broad peopleâs movements, and that with preparation and organization we can make a significant contribution.â
The Progressive Democrats of America, the group that the CPUSA worked with and through, seems to be a classic âfrontâ organization designed to push the Democratic Party further to the left. It has an advisory board that includes the following Democratic members of Congress:
- John Conyers, Jr. of Michigan
- Barbara Lee of California
- Raul Grijalva of Arizona
- Keith Ellison of Minnesota
- Jim McGovern of Massachusetts
âTo win a landslide in this election, to defeat Trump and the Republicans, is a giant task,â the CPUSA says. âWe are setting the bar high. We can do it if we stick together.â
Watch carefully as the media seek to avoid even mentioning that the communists are mobilizing for Hillary.
