You still think a majority of Democrats are the Bill Maher types who are liberal but oppose socialism?
Allow this CBS News poll to disabuse you of that notion:
Nearly 60% of Democrats like socialism. That's almost double the 32% who like capitalism.
Only 18% think it's a bad thing!
Socialism finds more positive views among Democrats with college degrees than those without. They're even more likely to perceive a gap between the richest and the middle class. And less likely to say the Democratic Party is 'effective.'
Younger Democrats more than older ones, and White Democrats more than other racial groups tend to have more favorable views of socialism.
College-educated white libs are voting in the Mamdanis and El-Sayeds because they love socialism, and the Third Worlders are voting for the socialists along ethnic lines and for free stuff.
Also from CBS:
Half of the Dems without college indoctrination like socialism.
And the DSA? It's popular.
The specific label of democratic socialist is seen as positive by half the party — more by younger and more liberal Democrats.
It's not negative to other Democrats though. It's more neutral.
You think AOC can't win a primary on these numbers?
Think again.
