But the millenials see nothing wrong with socialism. They have been taught well that Capitalism is evil. Socialism as the alternative is just another option.....with no regard for the tens of millions of dead people and untold sorrows it has left in its wake.

Actually, the mask isn’t off yet, and this fake news article is still trying to soft peddle the left.

These people are not “democratic socialists”.

Democratic Socialism is a largely defunct European model that held sway in much of Europe from the end of WW2 through the two thousands. Democratic Socialists were still nationalists.

The folks we have running for office now don’t believe in borders or national sovereignty. They are globalists as well as socialists.

Global Socialism was a term used interchangeably with Communism throughout the cold war. The two are still synonymous.

This article was one laugh after another.

The Democrat party is pretty much toast.

The rise of openly socialist Democratic candidates is not a product of Trump’s presidency, but an evolution of the Democratic Party that started with FDR, accelerated under George McGovern’s run for the presidency in 1972, snow balled during the Obama years and became chic with Bernie Sanders. Democrats have been lurching leftward for decades and now are morphing into “Democratic Socialists”. Trump’s election showed that a large part of the traditional Democrat base, white blue collar workers especially union workers that have reliably been Democrat voters have had enough. Hillary lost this base not because of her liberal stance, but because she was Hillary. She was seen as shrill, condescending and tired. Bernie, despite being a doddering socialist, was electrifying compared to Hillary’s tired old themes and smug expectation of being the candidate just because it was her turn. That Hillary had to resort to dirty tricks with the DNC to assure her nomination showed her weakness as a candidate.

Democrats are now so fixated on eliminating Trump in an impeachment frenzy for the 2018 election that they have no serious candidates to challenge Trump in 2020. I expect the election this fall will not give Democrats the edge to seriously proceed with impeachment and leave them leaderless going into 2020. The only excitement is these new socialist darlings. However, while some millennials might get excited by socialism just like the young crowd flocked to McGovern’s anti VietNam war movement it will not carry them to the White House in 2020. Remember McGovern lost to Nixon in an election blow out.in 1972.

"He's now the only major-party Senate candidate in the nation to be a dues-paying democratic socialist."

This is pretty misleading. He may be the only "candidate" presently, but both houses of Congress have been full of them for quite a long time.

“Democratic socialism rising...”

Just a nice way of saying that there are more assh*les out there than ever before.

Think of how much publicity — and campaign donations — Zak Ringelstein must be receiving from his announcement.

If only one-tenth of the 13 million-plus Democrats who voted for Socialist Bernie Sanders in 2016 open their checkbooks for their new comrade from Maine, he’ll be in the Senate next year.

It’s people/writers like Steve People’s that give professional writers a bad rep. Trump almost won maine so nothing BIG or TRENDING there and only about 375,000 Dimwits even bothered to vote.

That’s in the neighborhood of 1/10 of 1% of the US population...…………...hardly a political earthquake.

The DSA is nothing more than a cheap knockoff of the old Nazi party.

From their tactics and rhetoric to their canned propaganda and talking empty heads..

They appeal to the ignorant, the drug addled, the losers of society.. who better to march with than a bunch of braindeads and flatliners figuratively speaking.
