The head of the leading Socialist party in the U.S. is hopping mad about the GOP's plan to rename the Democratic Party the "Democrat Socialist Party."
It seems that although the Democrats have a lot of power and prestige right now, the Socialists still see them as a group to avoid at all costs. Frank Llewellyn, the national director of the Democratic Socialists of America, had this to say about the proposal:
"It's objectionable because they're giving socialism a bad name by associating it with the Democrats, who are the second-most capitalist party in the world. The election of this president, sadly, hasn't changed that."
The only thing that could be more offensive for the Democratic Socialists of America would be to be compared to the hated Socialist Party USA, who are nothing more than capitulant running dogs eager to please their tyrannical overlords.
