    I think you mean nearly half of democrats don't view socialism positively.

    I sure wish they'd stop calling it socialism. But anyway, don't you just want to shake those "no opinion" people? How can you have no fucking opinion?

    If they take these polls via texts/mobile calls, that could be a portion of people they contact who don’t respond or decline to participate.

    Regardless, I don’t trust polls anyway, especially when all of this is going to be used to justify the insurrection act anyway.

    To be honest, most Americans have no idea what socialism is.

    I wonder how much such polls are going to be used by the Maga fascists to justify election interference and a new red scare.

    A couple of weeks ago, it was at about 3O%. The Citizens are tired of waiting for the parties to serve them properly, and are quickly carving their own political path. The parties better figure this out, and either get on board, or get out of the way, because we're no longer taking orders from them.

    We're in control now, and they will serve at our pleasure, so..."What have you done for us LATELY?"

    I watched the video to get an idea of what they were asking.

    I'd be curious to see what the support was for the actual policies that are being labeled as socialism.

    94% of democrats viewed Harris positively during the 2024 election.

    Are you saying between two options, she was worse than Trump? She most definitely was positive amongst other options.

    What I’m saying is she didn’t win at 94% so how are socialists going to at 58%?

    Polls on views of an ideology and party polls of a candidate are a bit different.

    Regardless, these are real views from people who respond to polling opportunities, so they will most likely vote in kind.

    You can absolutely make the argument that the sample size is too small to get an accurate read on how the US would vote in a presidential run, but it is not really a reason to say that DSA candidates will never win.

    I’m pointing out how out of touch from reality the average leftist is in this site.

    By misunderstanding what a poll indicates?

    What this poll says to me is that Socialism is not seen as a boogeyman AS MUCH as it used to be. Which is pretty damn good news for anybody using the word in their campaign.

    Tell me how pointing out that 58% is less then 94% is ‘misunderstanding polls.’

    Your take right there is exactly your misunderstanding of polls. Those are not comparable due to what they are polling.

    Harris had 94% positive polling amongst democrats and she lost the general.

    Socialism is polling at 58% with democrats which means it’s probably under 25% of the general population.

    If your argument is to not rely 100% on polls, just say that lol.

    DSA is going to keep on fighting and winning, at least sometimes. I am going to back whoever is against Republicans with my vote, and I hope you do to, even if they have the word Socialism in their platform.

    It’s not me you have to worry about it’s general democrats and independents staying home because they have jobs and retirement savings and don’t identify with a bunch of commies wanting to destroy them.

    That's disgustingly low. You're a nation of formerly well kept slaves.

    I am about as asocial as you can get, I would rather use a coarse bastard to flay my skin than talk to another human...i think socialism is better than capitalism. Take from that what you will.

    Right now I don't think either side is looking out for the average American citizen or the longevity of the country. My next vote is no confidence.

    Remember kids both parties are exactly the same, they've caused the same amount of damage, both hate gays and immigrants the same amount, both have destroyed the same amount of regulations on businesses that harm us. So don't bother voting because they're exactly the same. That'll fix things for sure.

    Both parties are blatantly corrupt, violate constitutional safeguards, both are rewriting history and reality, both parties cancelled infrastructure spending, both parties cancelled economic development and new energy projects, both parties cancelled student loan assistance ……

    Both parties make their money by serving their puppet masters who steal money from us. The middle class used to capture 25% of GDP back in the 70's. Now we're lucky to capture 7%. And we've had plenty of politicians from both sides that just made the problem worse. It's not Dem's vs. Rep's, it's the rich enslaving the poor. Always has been, always will be.
