Rubio Admitted in 2015 That Sanders' Socialism Was Not Cuban Communism

[Cimorene]

Rubio, New Hampshire 2015:

Rubio bristled when a speaker there said the socialism promoted by Sanders had similarities to the Cuban communism Rubio's own family had fled.
"In fairness, they fled communism," Rubio responded. "There is social democracy, right, like you see in Europe, where government provides for every aspect of your life, but there's consequence to that. They fled communism, which is beyond socialism, obviously, where government controls society, but also government controls politics, life, the banning of religion — people were being executed."

This was also when he was routinely & honestly criticizing Donald Trump, calling him an "embarrassment" that Republicans would have to pay the price for. So I guess he's paying the price by making himself look foolish & contracting himself.

He gave more praise to Sanders than to Trump saying:

Rubio also said that, while he didn't personally believe in Sanders' platform, he does not "personally have a problem with Bernie because he's being honest about what he believes in. I'd love to have that debate."

And now Rubio this past week/last night:

The Florida senator made headlines this week after he filmed himself driving in a T-shirt while fear-mongering that democratic socialism is a dangerous ideology that has forced people to flee their home countries. And last night, during the latest Democratic debates in South Carolina, Rubio felt the need to point out on Twitter that Sanders was getting "very positive" coverage in communist Cuban media:
"Democratic socialism sounds benign, but at the core, democratic socialism is Marxism, and at the core of Marxism is this fake offer that if you turn over more of your individual freedom, we're gonna provide you security, we're gonna provide you free healthcare, we're gonna provide you education," Rubio said in the car video.

I feel like Rubio is playing Republican voters, treating older voters like they are gullible & don't have the memory or the ability to compare his past comments to current ones. He appeals to tribalism. Yet Zoomers are the ones often portrayed as easy to manipulate. I think the opposite is the case.

It doesn't sound that way whatsoever if you actually listen to his comments from pre-Trump & now. It sounds like he is playing Republican voters for fools.

You're posting in teen section.

The 'socialism' attack by the tds-oriented and -infected President supporters is fading fast.
