Best Answer

The previous answer was "Because the Republicans and Democrats had already adopted the Socialist program, and he had no more work to do." If that were true, then the U.S. wouldn't have entered World War II, which was not "The Good War", but rather a war to see which nation would be the strongest over all other nations.

He never really "quit":

"In 1955, he resigned his official posts in the Socialist party, but he remained its chief spokesman until shortly before his death."

What is Norman Thomas' quote about it is only a matter of time when you can turn liberals into socialists?

"The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under the name of 'liberalism' they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without knowing how it happened." 1948 - from an interview during the presidential campaign, [Ed. note: Norman Thomas and Gus Hall, the U.S. Communist Party Candidate, both quit American politics, agreeing that the Republican and Democratic parties by 1970 had adopted every plank on the Communist/Socialist and they no longer had an alternate party platform on which to run.] from http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote/norman_thomas_quote_ffb1 I can't speak as to the validity of the quote, but that's what it supposedly was.
