There is coming a time in the future when they won’t need to hide behind a pseudo political party name – and they will come out of the closet and call themselves what they are, Socialist – and the worse part is, half of America won’t be bothered by having the knew title.
I think “Democrat” serves them just fine.
In their unguarded moments they lament that we only so far have a “political democracy”, not yet an “economic democracy” too.
