I wish we could have a democratic party even half as "far-left" as Fox says they are.

American conservatives wouldn't know a socialist if they seized the means of production on national TV
For all the fellow Non-Americans, "Radical Socialists" here pretty much means Social Democrats at most.
Lol. You're being too generous. When Fox says "radical socialist" they mean "someone who would have been a Republican in the 90s.
If only. Without revolution, the limits of the capitalist state is social democracy, ie welfare capitalism, which can improve conditions in the short term but does not address the systemic problems of capitalism itself. A mass socialist party and mass class consciousness are both necessary for revolution, along with crisis within the capitalist system. You can directly support the first two by getting involved with a socialist party. Both Freedom Road Socialist Organization and the Party for Socialism and Liberation have two tiers of membership, general membership which is low commitment in time and money, and cadre membership, which requires significant time and money. See which is more active near you (almost certainly PSL, but varies), and consider joining the general membership!
Educate!
Agitate!
Organize!
What was that slogan? Loving it?
It'd be nice to see instead of just blue and red, different hues of those colors to show how diversity in the Democrats is one of their weaknesses. Republicans would be mostly the same red. Hopefully we increased progressives in the House some more to counter the centrists. Who have no excuse to "work across the aisle" but will do their best to not be too left.
