Multiple Democratic candidates and voices openly embrace or defend “Democratic Socialism,” with some past statements aligning with communist ideas like abolishing borders, seizing means of production, and nationalizing industries. Polling shows strong support among Democrats for socialism over capitalism. Joy Behar equated basic government services to socialism. Candidates like Darializa Avila Chevalier dodged direct “communist” labels while promoting aligned policies. Trend is real in primaries and party rhetoric.
The mask is off. Candidates winning or rising openly push what used to be fringe talk. Polls show majority of Democrats now prefer socialism.
