Here’s a revealing — and disturbing — new poll that bears on the current gang fight among leftists for the soul of the Democratic Party and its 2020 presidential nomination.

Almost half of Americans in a new Gallup Poll believe that socialism would be a good thing for the United States to have. Almost half (43 percent). A good thing. Democrats like Bernie Sanders driving that party to the left may be on to something for a winning theme in next year’s vote. Today, a bare majority (51 percent) says socialism would

Stupid people can't even see what happens under Socialism even when the perfect example of it is in their own hemisphere. I truly believe that a majority of people just don't pay attention to anything that requires them to think beyond what is fun. They may on occasion tune into the news in some form, but it only reinforces their view that it's just too much to take in, and off they go doing what brings them some form of escape from reality. Having never been taught what Communism and Socialism really is, they just look at the fairness of it all, without knowing it's real intention.

Progressives have worked towards this for over a century and their efforts are paying off at last. They established governments schools expressly to marginalize Christian morals, indoctrinate in secular idiocy, erase American history and produce ignoramuses who will vote for anyone who promises them "free" stuff. Add to this the invasion by millions of foreigners who know nothing of our past or our principles and don't care to learn about these and whose primary motivation is to drain as much from the nation as they can while paying in little or nothing in return and you end up with what we have today. California really is the future of what was once the United States of America.

Proof that the leftists have completely taken over the schools, the media, and the entertainment industry.

As has been said: It is much better to have inequality of wealth then equality of poverty and misery.

Dumbed down Americans don't know what they like. The Dems have been pounding it into everyone's head that Socialism was the favored philosophy of Jesus Christ, This is a lie - an extreme malicious fabrication.
Communism and Socialism are enforced from a leader upon the followers. Christ simply said, "Love one another as I have loved you." There was no enforcement, no punishment, no demand that everyone else conform, OR ELSE, that is Socialism. Christ's teachings depend on our free will.
But Democrats and Communists use the argument to enslave us.

Let's do dumb down the college boards. There are already way too many people now-a-days who do not want to believe in American excellence; so, by all means, let's add to the lot so we can all aim for the worse common denominator and that's what you get with socialism.

If we learned anything about polls, it's that some people didn't learn anything!

More and more Americans are becoming brainwashed and ignorant of the facts of current events, either from what they are being taught in so-called schools and universities or being told by so-called news organizations. Meanwhile, those of us who are deplorable and ignorant have a better grasp of current events and the actual facts because of our curiosity, love of the truth and our sources of news.

It's difficult to "take up arms" when they have been confiscated by those who cannot become tyrants as long as patriots are armed. The socialists will engineer equality of misery and there will be nobody to rescue the sheep who have given up their freedom for free stuff. Once the tyrants take power, who needs the electoral college anymore ... the 4 biggest blue states will choose Amerika's leaders and the rest of the stupid population that enabled socialism can twiddle their thumbs. The media did their job. Orwell got it right.

We should bring back the draft. Let the whiners see the world on our dime so they can appreciate this country.

Propaganda at its finest. This is either total fiction or they polled the crowd coming out of one of Colorado's medicine shoppes. We know that a large percentage of leftist retards live amongst us but it's nowhere near 51 percent of the total population.

There seems to be a question of not having our guns or having them confiscated. Once there is a drive to take our firearms against the 2nd Amendment the fight will start and the liberty tree will drink deeply. So please let us leave the 2nd alone.

But are they going to like it when they get electrical brownouts (like some places do now), when there's no food, when there's no medicine or functioning hospitals or no doctors to be found and when the ruling dictators rake in all the money and leave the citizens with nothing? Like Venezuela? Because that's your future no matter what rosy outcomes the Putin wannabees say how different it will be. Socialism always results in complete destruction. If people had a smidgen of a brain, they'd learn real history, not fake history like students get now in public school and in colleges/universities.

Agree with the comments above, but I believe that we, as parents, have a duty to our children to teach them about our history, it’s founding principles and a good work ethic. We can’t put that all on the education system although they play a huge part in the lies and omissions that are taught in school. We have to counterbalance the garbage they hear. We must instill patriotism and a real sense of who we are and why this country is the envy of the world. To expect the schools to teach your children what you believe is naive. You must do that yourself. Many educators are just waiting to shape your children’s thinking and beliefs. Don’t allow that to happen. We can no longer assume truth is being taught. A good portion of what they are being taught is propaganda. Teach your children the truth.
