Quote:
"Maine Democratic Senate candidate Zak Ringelstein announced over the weekend he is now a Democratic socialist – making him the first Senate candidate from a major party to formally join the political movement.
Ringelstein, who is challenging incumbent independent Sen. Angus King, had previously declined to say if he was a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, but told the Associated Press over the weekend that he had officially joined the group.
“I stand with the Democratic socialists, and I have decided to become a dues-paying member,” Ringelstein said. “It’s time to do what’s right, even if it’s not easy.”"
And Quote:
"The group’s push on social media – as well as more traditional campaigning like the tour that Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez made through the Midwest over the weekend – has garnered the DSA a great deal of attention and support. The group’s paid membership hovered around 6,000 in the years before President Trump’s election, but by last week it rose to 45,000 nationwide."
Slowly in past but now in greater numbers Democrats are joining up with their party's movement to mainstream what it calls 'Democratic Socialism' but what is in reality no different than the same strain of socialism that has failed its People in nations around the globe.
How far will the American socialist movement go, particularly in the case of a November Red-wave?
