They’ll talk about socialism’s rise — but it’s really just Democrats’ fall

[Independent thinker]

New polls by Gallup show American's views of capitalism have been declining, but that's not really the whole picture. Socialism's rise is really nothing more than the democrat's fall. As democrats become less and less popular, those on the left view socialism in a more positive light. However, over the last few years democrats have lost over two million registered democrats, which have been picked up by a likewise gain of over two million registered Republicans. So, the gain in those favoring socialism only comes at the expense of the democrat party. In other words, the left are fragmenting into two distinct parties, making them weaker as a whole compared to Republicans.

Don’t be fooled by conventional reading of the latest Gallup survey as showing the country moving Bernie Sanders’ way.

The poll seems to show a small drop in Americans’ view of capitalism, but a closer look suggest the only sure thing is that Democrats continue to shift left fast.

The pollsters report that the share of Americans with a positive view of capitalism fell from 60% in 2021 to 54% this year. (It was 61% in 2010, the first year Gallup asked.)

Yet that drop came purely among Democrats and independents, an eight-point fall among each since 2021.

And, notably, for the first ever, under half of Democrats (42%) view capitalism positively — even as Dems’ positive views of socialism has soared from 50% in 2010 to 66% now.

Here’s the thing: Without access to the raw data, we can’t be sure Gallup isn’t overcounting Dems when it calculates the numbers for Americans overall.

And we do know that Americans are leaving the Democratic Party by the millions, with the GOP picking up about the same — an exodus that parallels the party’s turn to socialism.

In short, it’s not that Bernie Sanders AOC, Zohran Mamdani & Co. are changing people’s minds: The socialism-lovers are simply driving those who disagree out of a party that’s losing the rest of the country as a direct result.

Any opposition to the regime that is threatening, will be dealt with.

Bernie's socialist efforts to reform the country for the benefit of the working class, was a failure even before fascism came to power.

The Republican Party no longer exists. It's now the MAGA White Nationalist Front Party. So the OP needs to shut up about Democrats.

It is an interesting speculation that the DNC is choosing to self-implode in order to bring in the newer radical socialists.

When you think about it, why else would they prop up Biden who clearly had dementia issues to fall flat on his face with the debate with Trump?

From what I have observed, I don't think the DNC actually speaks for the average democrat voter. I find that curiously odd. Their recent meeting in Minneapolis right off the bat devolved into a queer apologizing to Native Americans for taking their land. Most democrats seem to be telling their party they want the party to ditch the far woke progressive socialist left and the DNC is doing exactly the opposite. Their voters need to speak for themselves with their votes, which is maybe what happened already last November.

It's Republicans getting cussed out in town halls. The Democratic Party is just fine.

LOL. Republicans are getting cussed out in town halls by democrats. So what? Even those on your own side realize the democrat party is in trouble.

To be fascist in the United States requires the United States has a King. Which it doesn't have.

All Americans should know this. We have two right wing parties masquerading as opposing parties to deceive the people for the benefit of the billionaire class and big corporations.
