    Pretty much everyone does. In fact when you focus on the actual policies of progressives and democratic socialists, the platforms are appealing to both Democrats and conservatives.

    In other words, corporate Democrats aren’t going to win over voters from the Republican party, but Democratic Socialists and progressives have the potential to actually flip votes

      I mean, even the right respects them more. They may hate them and want to see them all burned at the stake, but my impression is that they do in fact actually have some respect for someone with a backbone and values. That doesn’t really mean much but it’s a thought.

    There was a time when only Republicans talked about what socialism was. It was all lies. I think as more people hear a fair representation of it (or at lest democratic socialism) most will prefer it.

    USA Democrats in the USA = Center Right to Center Left.

    USA Democrats in other countries = Far-Right to Middle Right.

    Can we just grab the pendulum when it gets back tot he middle, or do we gotta fuck things up in the other direction first?
