The Social Democratic Party of Pennsylvania is a social democratic/democratic socialist political party in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania.
The term 'Social Democracy' is frequently thrown about by the far Left as a pejorative to mean a watered down form of Socialism. Yet it is the Social Democratic movement that has given workers shorter work weeks, national health care, and equality of political participation throughout much of the world.[1]
The SDPPA was formed in 2007 by progressive Democrats, Social Democrats, and Democratic Socialists who were interested in bringing these tangible improvements to the Commonwealth. It is recognized as both an activist organization and a vehicle for social democratic electoral politics.
