Aaron Rupar(@atrupar):Q: What do you say to voters who fear that democratic socialism could turn into communism? FRANCESCA HONG: No. This is a state where we will still have a $2.33 tipped minimum wage and $7.25 minimum wage. It's gonna be hard to turn that into socialism soon, but what we can do is make sure we fight for policies that put working class people first
