“This poll underscores that the term ‘democratic socialism’ now communicates something very practical to American voters: the kind of economic security and fairness once associated with the New Deal tradition,” said Bhaskar Sunkara, president of the Nation magazine and founding editor of Jacobin.

Now hopefully the Dems will stop running right wing candidates and telling us "you have to vote for the blue conservative or the red conservative will win", and, instead, support policies that actually help people.

Not holding my breath, though.
