well the biggest reason i call the democratic party socialists is due to the fact they have 2 defining characteristics, the party as a whole not any specific group. first, they like to force the party's politics, to me when democrats get into office they seem to pass as many rediculous bills as they possibly can while they can..... too much changes too quickly and not for the better. second they do not seem to care about people even though most people believe they are a party for the poor..... ironicly socialist groups tout themselves as being "the workers party" while they could give a shit less about "the workers" same thing...... the party pushes it's political agenda more so than republican's..... when a republican takes office you don't typically see them attacking a previous democratic president's passed laws, i.e. when bush took office he didn't set to work dis-mantling NAFTA even though we all know what a cluster-fuck that was, or over-turning Roe Vs. Wade. democrats typically start changing shit as soon as they can since they know they only have 4 years to further their cause....
