I've noticed lately on this forum many DSA Loyalists are pushing back against being labeled DSA Loyalists, they claim they are members of the Democratic Party. I guess these "old school Democrats" didn't get the memo from street level DSA Loyalists who have every intention of taking over the Democratic Party.

It's not me making this claim that the Democratic Party is now the DSA, it's their street level supporters who openly admit through various polls they support socialism at 65-70% clip depending on the poll you want to trust. I think 60-70% is a safe range of Democrat voters who believe the way forward is socialism. Until something changes you are no longer the Democratic Party, you are the Democratic Socialist Party.

You are what a majority of your constituency says you are.

Polls only matter here when they give data you like.


Here is their list of who they are backing in this election.

None of the candidates ever mentioned here. Maybe Talib. Of course AOC but for the most part a list of Who?

I agree. Some are your stereotypical blue hair type. One blue hair showing her tatted muscle arm. I'm not a fan of the DSA agenda.
I want the democratic and republican party to spilt. I want 4 parties.
Im tired of "us or them ".

I guess sarcasm isn't your strong suit.


But at least it's on topic.

You have a small number of downvotes but these (I’m assuming) traditional Dem voters who downvote you are evidently oblivious to the fact that DSA wing of the party is getting all the juice and publicity. There’s no “traditional” Dem out there moving the needle at all.

So yep, the Dem Party belongs to the DSA now. No question about it.

I've thought about that prospect of more political parties.
Even numbers are no good though. Leaves too much to the chance of there being tied voting in Congress.

And while having more voices and differing opinions may be a good thing out in the real world, in a voting environment like the House and Senate, it's going to take a lot of making deals (IE corruption) to get those voices to agree on anything.

The other really big downside is that the more parties that get added, the increase in chance of a lame duck president.

I do agree. A two party system has become broken. Here, and in other countries. And I did like the thought of more parties until I realized human nature would turn it into a cluster frick in the House and Senate.

The Democratic Party no longer exists. The Democratic Party was a liberal party. The current party carrying their name could not be more illiberal.

The democrat party has not been the same since LBJ - that is when they considered what was best for America to be 2nd or 3rd position wrt what was good for the Democrat leadership.

When the media joined forces with them, we became almost identical to a Soviet style leadership when the Dems were in control of the presidency.

With the added support from the national media, they have been able to neuter the Executive branch - with the exception of trump, but even then they have been able to keep him in check. They also have the added assistance of a number of RINOs in congress.

IF we lose the congress in this election it is all over - not even Trump will be able to oppose the dedicated drift towards socialism.

I will not live to seen the eventual collapse of our democracy - but I know it's coming & I have fears for my great grandchildren who may never live in the fantastic nation that I was privileged to inherit. I was born in 1938 - the year the Great Depression was finally put to rest and I have known nothing but constant economic rise in my life.

In my view, the 'welfare' programs were the killer of our future. We now have generations of people who know nothing other than "get the government to fix it." For well over half my life it was the individual who was responsible for his well being.

There were of course 'hard times' in that era, but people relied on their neighbors and relatives to assist them back onto their feet - there were Charity Hospitals, privately funded, for situations that we're out of the reach of individual outreach.

But now we have generations of families who have known nothing but 'government assistance' and have structured their entire life plan on exploiting that resource for every itch they need to scratch.

Trump, with all his personal faults, has saved us from already haven fallen into the commie trap, but the Democrats, with support from the media and foreign interests has been able to stymie even his efforts.

I doubt we will have another personality with the personal wealth to resist the combined efforts of the DEMs and media and foreign interests to take us down to their level.

You're stuck in a mentality that the two split parties from each existing one will still be i lock-step.... Think of it as two moderate groups and two fringe groups- the moderates get to decide what popular legislation they support, identity politics and deliberate polarization are no longer as viable, legislators start to seek populist postions that CITIZENS want...

Most countries that manage to have a blend of capitalism but still find ways to fund healthcare, education and social safety nets have a third party that forces compromise and cooperation

I agree - what we need is a reset back to personal responsibility.

I would want to see a total elimination of the 'welfare system' we have adopted. It has been turned into a 3rd prong in every election.

What we need are laws regulating campaigns. You should not be able to mention your opponent unless you tell him what you are going to say and actually have his response as part of your 'ad' - sort of like a debate.

Actual DEBATEs are what we need - and if they have to be financed by the Fed Gov, so be it as long as some degree of FAIRNESS is mandated.

This situation in Alaska is nothing more than a punctuation mark on how political parties conduct themselves.

I’ve been a registered D my entire life, voted a straight R ballot earlier this week, as I’ve done the last dozen years. Had a couple of bearded 30-something’s wearing DSA t-shirts a couple weeks back come by to make sure I was a good Democrat. Told them immediately that they had nothing to say that I cared to hear.

It’s pretty obvious that they have taken over the party.

They will claim that they don’t support socialism while simultaneously voting for candidates that do then when said candidate predictably becomes a terrible politician they lament the “both sides” justification for their votes.

I know human nature and history. The smaller parties will be bullied or bought off to serve the bigger ones. They will be promised the chance to become bigger and more powerful through service, but those promises are only to string them along.

Have you ever spoken with people who come from countries with government healthcare? It's not what the people who want it, think it is.
How about education? Who pays for it. Let's say the government spends 30,000 to put you through college. Then when you graduate, a new gov comes in and says 60% of your paycheck goes to paying them back.
