answer: look at rule 5 over there. “no posts about democratic socialists.” the mods are working overtime (or have set automod to remove/hide posts with his name).
How do they square this with some demsocs being literally endorsed by the Democratic party as the primary candidate in some these local elections?
Same way they square it with demsocs being clearly what the Dem base wants right now - they ignore it.
There is a specter haunting r/Democrats…
It’s not on the short list on the right sidebar but on the rule page. And - of course - there’s more! Emphasis mine.

Fucking lol, he’s the most popular and hyped Democrat in a long time and they want to bury him because a succdem is too far left for these turbolibs. They really are allergic to winning.

Can someone explain to a non American why it’s called the Democratic party? Isn’t that like the worst thing you can call yourself as a political movement meant for minority interests? Did they just figured nobody cares so they never changed their name?

They are called that because Andrew Jackson was pro universal white male suffrage (previously there was a wealth requirement).
Before that was the Democrat-Republican party (Andy J was divisive and killed the party) was organized as an opponent to the federalist party who were pro centralization. At the time Members of Federal Congress were appointed by the states so the name Democrat-Republican was somewhat accurate.
They haven’t changed their name b/c their branding is still that they are the party “of the people”
Edit: the D-R party was formed during the era of good feelings (after the federalists fell apart), it was the (Jeffersonian) Democrats who were organized in opposition to the Federalists.
