Americans are backing progressives not because they want socialism, but because they want candidates who will fight for the working class

Dropout has a point.

    If were going with the goals of socialism, the goal is to have social ownership of companies directly by the workers or through the state which is something that by and large Americans don’t support but yes, some Americans are voting for progressives and democratic socialists because they’re promising to enact regulations to help the median wage earning American.

    And a reminder that this is what MAGA, in all its forms, also ran and promised and won because median Americans kept being disappointed with Democrats not doing a damn thing to help them when they got into power.

    I mean I’m hopeful that the Democratic party will get its head out of its ass and and continue to vote in progressives and DSA members but overall in median America, I still have my doubts it’ll be a quick change since it’s been over a decade since Tea Party/MAGA have continued to hold power with median Americans, George Carlin voters continuing to vote these charlatans in power.
