According to Gallup, almost 60% of Dems currently have a favorable view of socialism. The party is drifting over the leftist cliff, and it’s betting its future on radicals who play to the coasts but are anathema to the rest of the country. So, whether you call yourself a socialist, a democratic socialist, or simply a Democrat doesn’t really matter anymore. If you’re aligned with that party, you know where you’re headed.
In the past, people have tried – in vain – to get Bernie Sanders to define the difference between “socialist” and “democratic socialist.” He usually stammers, grunts, and changes the subject. Now, he doesn’t even want to talk about socialism vs. capitalism. All he wants you to know is that America is a “fundamentally immoral” place, and he’s the guy to fix it.
