More and more, democratic socialists are gaining in popularity — winning multiple mayoral/Senate races around the country. To be clear, this is not the traditional Democratic Party, nor are they socialists — they are closer to being communists.
Why are so many people jumping on this democratic socialist train? First, they oppose anything and everything about President Donald Trump. Second, they promise free everything — transportation, food and healthcare. They get elected and all their promises go down the drain. I think many supporters do not know exactly what they are voting for.
This new party does not love America. They want to abolish prisons, abolish the police and ICE, open all borders and ban mass deportations. What is going on in the Democratic Party is a civil war. Splitting the Democrat electorate will make it harder to win back the presidency and Congress.
