Senator John Fetterman is speaking out against the shifting ideological landscape within the Democratic Party as socialist candidates secure primary victories across the country.
The Pennsylvania senator took to social media on Sunday afternoon to express his frustration with the growing preference for socialist policies among his party base, The Hill reported.
Fetterman is worried about the direction his colleagues are heading, especially as insurgent progressive candidates continue to see success in places like New York, Los Angeles, Michigan, and Colorado.
The senator’s concerns are rooted in recent data from a CBS News poll that highlights a significant divide in how Democrats view economic systems.
Fetterman did not hold back when reacting to these statistics. “The Democratic Party is becoming the party of socialism. 58% view socialism positively. 50% view capitalism negatively. I’m a proud free market capitalist. This is lunacy,” he wrote.
In late June, he offered a warning regarding the increasing prominence of what he described as the “dirtbag left.
