The use of the international communist star for the logo seems like bad optics (the people who claim Yang is a socialist will latch in the that).

- smolder 5y agoA 5 pointed star is not a communist symbol, except maybe according to some communists. There are 50 of them on the US flag, as just one example.
- cpursley 5y agoIt absolutely is, I'm living in a former communist country and these stars are still everywhere: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_star https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_star
- smolder 5y agoOkay, I'll cede that red ones specifically carry that meaning. I thought you were claiming all 5 pointed stars as such. I still don't feel that the silhouette of a (white, 5 pointed) star created with red lines is quite the same thing. I could however, to your point, see it being interpreted that way by Fox News, who will claim that damn near anything is communist if they are against it politically.
