the r’s are poised to call him a communist

There’s really no counter-rhetoric versus “will use the word communist in bad faith regardless of who’s the nominee or what their policy is” other than to say “that is bad faith and so fucking what?”

The debates are a mess because they’re between people who actually care about shit, while Republican politics is smooth and coordinated because it’s a mix of true nihilists seeking gratification and people who’ve convinced themselves they believe in something but are just seeking gratification along with social affirmation that they’re okay.
