The flag of the Democratic Socialist Party of America. A red field (traditional color of socialists) with a red rose and a biracial handshake in the middle. Appropriate for Labor Day since it upholds the values of working men and women.

The flag, which is the logo of the party, has undergone some changes over their relatively short history. At first it was a red rose held in a fist. That changed to a red rose with a handshake underneath. The handshake was later changed to a biracial handshake.

The logo was incorporated into the flag but flag design wise it is a better flag in it’s current ideation.

Senator Bernie Sanders, who calls himself a ‘Democratic Socialist’ had never joined the party. He remains an official Independent. There are two current members of congress who are officially members of the party. [Both ran in primaries as Democrats and subsequently won election.]

I have great respect for AOC and her ideas and legislation agenda. Rashida Talib is from Michigan. I know her to be a brilliant, compassionate person.
