The main problem with the Democratic Socialist movement, is that they don't have enough of their members elected in public office, especially statewide. And Tim Carpenter understands this and is trying to change it.

Tim Carpenter with his so-called Progressive Democrats of America (Democratic Socialists, in actuality) is taking a different approach in trying to accomplish what the Far-Left (or New-Left, if you prefer) is trying to accomplish in owning their own major political party. 

The Far-Left is trying to take over the Democratic Party (which is already a major political party) and essentially kick out the Center-Left in the party. (The real Progressives) And try to turn the Democratic Party into a Democratic Socialist Party. (Or Social Democratic Party, if you prefer) 

Which is the opposite of what I want them to do which is to just take their members in the Democratic Party and get the hell out of merge with the Green Party and Democratic Socialists of America (the self-described Socialists) and create their own left-wing party, where none of their members (except for perhaps the Communists) would look fringe or radical, at least within their own party.
