Yes it can. The US already has a considerable amount of socialist policies now with institutions such as public libraries and public schools. There are many other democracies that are far more socialist. Democracy allows people to collectively govern a nation's resources, and communal ownership is the underlying principal of socialism.
The US is not headed toward socialism anytime soon as a result of any political pressures or policies.
There is no serious movement in the US to remove private ownership of the means of production, resources, and to replace the profit system with a system of economic planning, public ownership or co-operatives.
Newsweek magazine indicates that we are about to become so in their cover story in this week's edition.
