There are a few people you could argue are socialists, but never explicitly said they were socialists and they aligned themselves with any socialist groups.

One issue I have with this video is that defining someone as outright socialist is pretty hard, for example Bernie Sanders says he is a socialist, but his policies would make him more of a social democrat which is a lot less extreme than socialism. The biggest problem with defining people as socialist is the fact that socialism can have many different components and subgroups. They can range from welfarism to marxism to communism, with each one being its own ideology.

You kind of allude to it, but DSA is not a party. One can't run under the DSA ticket.

Some people consider Huey long to be a socialist, I don’t know if he was a socialist but he was definitely in favor of our socialist policies and was further to the left than most people.
