About a third of Democrats and Democratic-leaning adults identify as democratic socialists, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS.

    I just hope this doesn’t splinter the Democratic party and allow R to take the midterms, or heaven forbid 2028.

      I don’t believe that’s really possible, at least not this time around. DSA is not a registered political party running candidates in races, they are running as Democrats. Meaning there might be DSA vs Dem in primary, but whoever wins that would be the Dem candidate.

      How that affects voting is up for debate, but it doesn’t split the vote like running a DSA candidate against Dem and Rep candidate would.

        I don’t think they meant split the vote, I think they meant doing stuff like pushing candidates like Graham Platner.
