I mean, their use of 'THEN' rather than 'THAN' indicates that they'll soon adopt the socialist agenda, so there's still hope!

I actually now understand what was meant, because of your comment! I was like Why do they want to receive socialistic agenda later? Incredible what difference a wrong a/e can make! (I'm a non native english speaker, but I think it bothers me/I see it more than the actual natives)

Glad I could help, in a fun way!

Then/than and loose/lose mixups bother me every time I see them and it's "fun" to interpret them as written rather than as they intended!

What I mean, is that you made me realize what they actually meant, because I've read it as is.

Yeah, I understood :-)
