The Democrat defense against Bernie Sanders is in pretty poor shape. He, AOC, and the Squad have mainstreamed socialism among Democrats. Democrats openly running as socialists keep winning races. Including a mayoral election.
And, in this latest poll, 65% of Dems have a positive reaction to socialism. Only 29% have a negative reaction.
Among self-described "liberals", 75% like socialism. Only 23% don't.
But much of that is driven by a rise in support for socialism among younger people and minorities.
When you break it down by race, only 33% of white people have a positive reaction to socialism, while 61% have a negative one.

Explains why so many flaming lefties rose to the top during the Democratic primaries. Don't think the number is 65% though. One of those flaming lefties would have won the nomination instead of Befuddled Biden if true.

How in G-d's name did we allow this to happen?? Its failed everywhere its been tried. Even China had to adopt capitalist ideas to keep their economy growing.
When I was a kid, being taught the horrors of socialism/communism was the norm. Not all that long ago, being a communist meant losing a clearance and being run out of the military. Communism was and is the enemy of the free world since 1917. More people have been slaughtered, murdered, starved and tortured for communism than any religion or political movement in history.
Our schools have failed miserably. And if this is true, the impending second civil war is more imminent than I imagined. With communists, the ends always justify the means.

Dear Dr. Franklin, it appears we might not be able to keep our Republic. Stupidity has taken over America like a cancer. Hard work, personal responsibility, our pioneer spirit have been shoved aside for "free things". This story makes me sick.

Only because they don't know what it really is and they've been taught to hate America as founded.

That leaves 35% that DO NOT!! In races that are being decided by just a percent or two...a 10% flip because Dems went too far left gives a solid Repub house,senate, and the presidency...on top of the majority of Governorship's and legislatures. Likely even some city councils and Mayors offices in "Solid Blue" cities where the total failures are already most readily apparent.Keep in mind they "May" have won the presidency, but they nearly lost the senate and lost a dozen seats in the house. Biden was losing to Bernie until they shut all the campaigns down over COVID and the media ran an all Biden/all he time show on every network...while he said and did NOTHING, just hid in the basement and let THEM Campaign for him.Bernie would have lost Yuuuge...Biden was the selected "Moderate" alternative to the Honest Socialist defeat the Dems faced.

The people who say they like like socialism are the people who will not have to pay the greatly increased taxes to fund all the proposed leftist and socialist Democrat socialist programs, but think they will continue to receive “free” money indefinitely from all levels of Government with no strings attached.

It's probably about the same for republicans. Don't think so? Start talking about phasing out socialist security while at the same time increasing the 401k and IRA reductions in income working people can apply. By the way, SS was sold as a program to make sure elderly widows didn't kicked to the curb if they couldn't afford their rent or house payment. Now? It's factored in as a retirement plan.

Lay this fantasy at the feet of a failed school system. The USSR, Venezuela, Eastern Block, and wherever tried it has failed. The only reason China looks successful is because WE have allowed them to rob us of trade secrets, intellectual property, and exploit their populace. Sanders appeals to our liberal/progressive citizens because they were never taught the truth about Communism/Socialism and on the surface it looks pretty inviting.

Socialism is government control of the means of production. Communism is Socialism with a gun to your head.

The Bernie's and AOC types are NOT welcomed in Cuba because they know that they would destroy that Island! Right Vern? Vern says "affirmative"!

Why call it "socialism"? Even AOC admits she is a communist and so does Moscow Bernie. Why be afraid to us the correct term? Afraid that if people realize what this really is they will not be so supportive? I wonder if you ask these same folks if they support communism what number you would get. Let's try it. Shall we. Stop playing the vocabulary game of changing your words to protect the guilty.

Well, they love the idea of getting “free” stuff. The problem is that the free stuff turns out to be extremely expensive and ultimately disappears.

65% of demonrats have no clue what socialism truly is. I lived in the Socialist Republic of Romania for 3 years during the Ceausescu regime and I could fill them in on all of the lovely details but they would never believe me. Do they even know that the acronym USSR stood for the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics?
