[edit] Democratic Socialists of America

Why is Democratic Socialists of America not listed here? Badagnani 06:19, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Because it is a disambiguation page for parties called "Democratic Socialist Party", not a list of organizations with democratic socialist ideologies. For the latter, see List of democratic socialist parties and organizations. -David Schaich ^Talk/_Cont 21:25, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I added it under "See also." It is a party, although the word "Party" doesn't appear in the name. Badagnani 22:25, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Hmm. I forgot we had started this discussion. Let's see. DSA doesn't organize itself as a political party, it doesn't run candidates for election... what makes it a party? -David Schaich ^Talk/_Cont 04:15, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

It's the closest thing in the U.S. Badagnani (talk) 04:33, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

As it is not a political party and doesn't use the name "Democratic Socialist Party", why should it remain on a disambiguation page listing of political parties called "Democratic Socialist Party"? -David Schaich ^Talk/_Cont 03:12, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
