Analysis: The Democratic party's most compelling stars are self-described socialists. Nancy Pelosi might wish it weren’t true, but poll numbers, fundraising and follower-counts don’t lie
There was Bernie Sanders at a Fox News town hall, not giving an inch in a forum every Democratic presidential candidate has shunned.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, miraculously transformed over the past few months into a relatively moderate Democratic elder stateswoman, has understandably been pushing back against the notion that she leads a socialist party defined by a few radicals in the House., she stalwartly declared: “I do reject socialism as a economic system. If people have that view, that’s their view. That is not the view of the Democratic Party.” She dismissed the left-wing members in her caucus as, “like, five people.
Sanders is reliably second—sometimes first—in national and state presidential polling of Democratic candidates. He’s out-raised everyone in the field, and with his massive small-donor base, probably can continue to do so for the duration. More than anyone else, he has defined the Democratic Party’s current agenda. He can clap back at establishment critics, as he did the other day at the Center for American Progress, and make their lives very uncomfortable.
