Voting against this particular resolution didn't necessarily mean a Democrat supported socialism.

Denounce socialism in ‘all its forms’? No way, say all but 8 House Democrats. by WorldTribune Staff, September 4, 2026 Non-AI Real World News A resolution denouncing “socialism i
Let’s be transparent, Vince. This was not a stand-alone condemnation of socialism. The House already passed H.Con.Res. 58, "Denouncing the Horrors of Socialism," on November 21, 2025 WITH bipartisan support. This was H.Res.1490, and it: * condemns and denounces socialism in all its forms, including the Democratic Socialists of America, and opposes the implementation of socialist policies in the United States; * reaffirms its support for free, fair, and secure elections and calls for enactment of the SAVE America Act; * reiterates that American elections are for American citizens only; and * recommits itself to upholding the U.S. Constitution. It was NOT just condemning socialism; it was hidden support of the SAVE America act, which is another way of suppressing the vote. You know that, but your post conveniently left that part out.
Democratic socialism is not radical. It’s a common ideology globally.

GOP-led vote on socialism aims to put Suozzi, Gillen in bind. The Long Island Democrats opposed the resolution, which passed 220 to 192
COMMUNITY NOTE This post leaves out key context about the vote. While 192 Democrats voted against the resolution, reporting shows they opposed it because the measure included language supporting the SAVE Act, a partisan voter‑ID bill. The resolution was symbolic and made no policy changes. Democrats have supported similar anti‑socialism resolutions in the past when they did not include unrelated voting‑law provisions. A “no” vote here does not indicate support for socialism. (Copilot)

Socialism will not vote against themselves
Way to tell us you don't know what socialism is, without admitting you don't know what socialism is. Does that mean you're going to give back your government paid salary? How about your government paid healthcare? You know - the socialist programs that benefit you and the rest of congress. What about the fire and police departments? Roads? Should I go on or do you get the point? Admit it - you learned a new buzzword and hope enough people don't bother to look below the surface into what it really means. Do better.

First, we were fascist. Then we were antifa. Then we were socialist. Then we were communist. Now they’re talking about Marxism. Why don’t you just think about us as people who want the best for everyone no matter who they are, what they believe, who they love and what color their skin is
Socialism is the same as communism
