PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — A week ago, Maine Democrat Zak Ringelstein wasn’t quite ready to consider himself a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, even if he appreciated the organization’s values and endorsement in his bid to become a U.S. senator.
Three days later, he told The Associated Press it was time to join up. He’s now the only major-party Senate candidate in the nation to be a dues-paying democratic socialist.
Ringelstein’s leap is the latest evidence of a nationwide surge in the strength and popularity of an organization that, until recently, operated on the fringes of the liberal movement’s farthest left flank. As Donald Trump’s presidency stretches into its second year, democratic socialism has become a significant force in Democratic politics. Its rise comes as Democrats debate whether moving too far left will turn off voters.

Yep the communists have taken full control of the party. They’re just trying to sell it with a friendlier name.

This “Zak” nutburger has about as much chance of being elected Senator in Maine as I have of luring Giselle away from Tom Brady.
These socialists don’t need to spend all this time and effort attempting to turn America into a socialist shithole; they can just go to someplace like Venezuela and live their dream life leaving us to suffer with our capitalist ways by having to work hard to get ahead or just stay even.
THIS!!
The 2 party system in America is soon becoming capitalists and socialists, not Republican/dumbocrat
Apparently, she isn’t into wearing bras, either. She’s targeting the perverted male voters!
Isn’t a 12-year-old running for Maine’s Governor?
Nothing left to loot there.
Democratic Socialists of America.
Democratic Cow Manure.
Throwing an adjective on the beginning doesn’t help matters...
Ocasio was a one off, a fluke. I guarantee you in every district, all those remaining, the front runner is out there campaigning like his job depended on it, because it does.
Nobody is taking anything for granted because of the polls.
Satan knows his time is short.
Democrats, committing Harry Carey by the numbers...
Spoiled, mind-numbed with drugs, ungrateful, unthinking; rotten people.
So they are stuck between a rock and a hard place
This is a throw away race for the Democrats in Maine.
Angus King is going to win!
