Episode Details

Democratic socialism is no longer hiding behind softer political labels. Following New York City's recent primary victories by self-described Democratic Socialists, Todd examines what this movement actually believes, why prominent Democrats and media personalities are embracing it, and how it differs from America's constitutional system. Along the way, Todd reacts to comments from The View, explains why terms like "Democratic socialism" are often misunderstood, and compares the principles of the U.S. Constitution with the expanding role of government advocated by the modern Left. He also explores growing divisions within the Democratic Party—including criticism from longtime strategist James Carville—and explains why these ideological battles matter far beyond New York City.
