The CPUSA has attached itself to far-leftwing [[liberal]]s of the [[Democratic party]]. Many people considers those leftist individuals in-the-mold of socialist principles, so it makes sense the CPUSA would support them. In the 2004 general election, they endorsed John Kerry for President. In 2008, CPUSA has openly glorified their support for [[Barack Hussein Obama]]. <ref>[http://cpusa.org/article/articleview/975/1/147/ Editorial: Eye on the Prize] CPUSA, July 15, 2008</ref> <ref>[http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=99104 Communist Party official shares White House's ambitious agenda] WorldnetDaily, May 24, 2009</ref> <ref>[http://iperceive.net/communist-party-usa-pac-chair-endorses-obama/ Communist Party USA PAC Chair endorses Obama] Iperceive.net, October 12, 2008</ref>

The CPUSA has played a minor role in recent years, since it represented the "old left" and could not accept the anarchism of the young radicals of the "new left."
