Socialism may no longer be a dirty word among Democrats, following a wave of hard-Left primary victories, but "woke" certainly is.
Prominent progressive figures have distanced themselves from the politics of 2020, when defunding the police and "decolonising" Thanksgiving became articles of faith among the party's grassroots.
That shift could have a seismic effect on the race to be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2028, which is gradually taking shape.
In particular, it could spell doom for Kamala Harris, still seen as one of the front-runners in the contest, whose flirtation with woke politics cost her dearly.
The 2024 election was a "wake-up call" for the party, according to Lanae Erickson, senior vice-president of Third Way, the centrist Democratic group. Voters saw the party as more extreme than Donald Trump, she said, a "horrifying" result.

Masks off. It’s Communism.
Translation: We hope you forget about all the terrible things we did from 2020 to 2024 and took great pleasure in doing them to you.
Yep. Woke is so yesterday! Today it is Communism that is hot again!
KamelToe is on the Fat Shot and still totally devoid of intellect.
Dems sell themselves on progressive nonsense. ‘We’re ahead on climate care, food nutritional stuff, we change words for things to show how smart we are...’ and they end up not knowing how to define what a woman is (thousands of years everyone knows this but now they don’t) and people being delusional thinking they can be the opposite sex by putting on their clothes and doing their hair differently.
What bunko artists they are. The only reason they now are discarding the woke word is it backfired on them.
“Woke” is not a dirty word, just one that goes underground for a while. Wokeism is still alive and well, but disguised as something like “social justice”.
“Democrat” is not a “dirty” word?
“social justice” preceded.
So are:
Antisemite
Global warming
Liberal
Trump hater
TDS sufferer
Newspeak language Nazis
They are all these things. But they’ll tell you what words to use. And what to not to throw away in your garbage and that religion has too many rules. And that they don’t have a religion but they’ll impose their religion on you
Try telling Catholic liberals what to do in the same way they tell you what to do. Try reminding them about the catechism and they’ll say ‘too many rules, why are you not saving that bag! It needs to go in recycling!!’ In your kitchen. In your house.
Well the democrats did pull Woke out of their backsides
Terrorism isn’t a dirty word on the left either.
Every Democrat supports it when they practice stochastic terrorism and they all do.
Yeah, she flirted with woke last time. With her meeting with Mamdani about a month ago she signaled her willingness to drop to a
Familiar posture on her knees in support of the cause, trying to harness the power of the lunatics at the ballot box. She may still. I think it’s her lane in the coming contest
Meaninglessly in your face for no valid reason.
‘Rats are Commies now, Jim?
Dems helped create the woke philosophy, and encouraged socialistic agendas over the years. Now they want nothing to do with either of them, and especially the National Socialists because they threaten the RATS political power. Just like Hitler, who encouraged the S.A. until he got paranoid, and believed Ernst Rohm and some members of the brown shirts were a threat to him, and had them killed.
they haven’t given up, they simply changed the phrase from defund the police to tear down the flack cameras.
“Meaninglessly in your face for no valid reason.”
Meaningless
I watch reruns said murder she wrote to get hints from Jessica Fletcher on how to nod and smile at criminal nutcases without pissing then off
They’re ignorant
Socialism is not Communism, honest!
Well, the flick cameras have to come down.
