We had Democratic Socialism in Moscow before the rest of the US did. See how well that worked for Moscow? #MoscowCivicAssociation #Defunct Via The Hill:
The biggest Democratic star of the summer is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who, like Sanders, is a democratic socialist.
Prospective Democratic candidates in the 2020 presidential election are flocking to the Sanders “Medicare for all” bill, which would institute a single-payer health-care system across the country.
And a new Gallup poll this week found that 57 percent of Democrats view socialism favorably, compared to 47 percent who view capitalism positively.
Two years after Sanders energized progressives during the 2016 Democratic presidential primary, it all suggests the Democratic field in the upcoming primary will be pulled more and more to the left as candidates compete for a large slice of their party’s electorate.
“Bernie Sanders lost the war but won the battle to reshape the party,” said Brad Bannon, a Democratic strategist.
