Maybe these people are finally getting it.
Socialist societies have always failed. Miserably!
Maybe they see the failure falling all around them, and they want out.
I don't think I could stand being a Democrat politician. All the crummy liberal perves would be crawling all over and demanding free handouts and screaming " give me, give me, give me...."
If a Democrat politicain even suggested to these people to get a job, he'd be torn apart!
So if you are a member of the other party and your party elects to a leadership position a true-blue dyed-in-the-wool socialist, then that party now becomes the Socialist Party and if you are any kind of patriotic American, you would no longer belong to that party.
