Not sure about Democrats - but socialism? See: http://www.alternet.org/corporate-accountability-and-workplace/why-socialism-doing-so-darn-well-deep-red-north-dakota

The "divide" between "red" and "blue" is a false corporate-media narrative. The vague differences between those who like Dems or Repubs more is not enough to understand true power dynamics - which serves the interests of, well, the powerful. The true divide is between those who own capital and the rest of us.
