Socialist Party of the United States (New England Secession)

The Socialist Party of the United States is the second largest of the three main political parties in the United States of America, the other being the much stronger Conservative Party and the much weaker Moderate Party. Founded after the dissolution of the Democratic Party in 1945, the Socialist Party is generally perceived to be on the left of American politics, but very much center internationally. Party figures have been the Kennedy family, Dennis Kucinich (the current president of the United States), Tom Harkin, Lyndon Johnson, Edmund Muskie, Bill Clinton and Franklin Roosevelt.

Seven of the United States' 49 presidents have been members of the Socialist Party, and it currently holds a slight majority in both houses of congress.

There have been several attempts to disband the Socialist Party by Conservatives, as it's their main political rival, under the McCarthy Amendment, which outlaws political groups being too far to the left. No attempts to ban the party have been successful so far.

Since the secession of the Republic of New England and Republic of the Pacific (both Socialist strongholds when they were part of the United States) the Socialist Party has only been in power when the American public or disgusted with the Conservative Party, like after Jack Kemp embarrassed the nation internationally, or Sarah Palin unethically won the 2008 American presidential election.
