“A pitched battle between mainstream Democrats and more liberal democratic socialists is roiling Seattle...”
There is no difference...they are just warring factions of identical ilk.
I find it interesting how the media is working hard to make it appear that the socialists in the Democratic party are a small minority and that the rest are mainstream. These so-called mainstream Democrats are simply more experienced at hiding what they really believe. They also understand that incrementalism has gotten them where they are and that the mouthy socialists don’t realize that their approach is too obvious.
