Most Democrats would back a democratic socialist for public office, according to a Hill-HarrisX poll released on Wednesday.

The survey found that 75 percent of Democratic voters said they would support a candidate who embraced the label, while 26 percent of Republicans and 36 percent of independents said the same.

Younger voters were also more likely to throw their support behind a self-described democratic socialist.

Seventy-four percent of those aged 18-34 said they would back a candidate with the tag, compared to 52 percent of those aged 35-49 and 30 percent of those aged 50-64.

However, voters were nearly evenly split on the term overall: 48 percent of those polled said they would support a democratic socialist, while 52 percent said they would not.

The survey comes as a number of progressive Democrats, including Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), embrace the label.



Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) has become one of the most prominent democratic socialists in the country as the only Democratic presidential candidate to self-identify as one in the 2020 race.

I am not surprised that most democrats say they would vote for a democratic socialist, most democrats are socialists. :shrug:

The definition of a democratic socialist is someone who allows you to believe that your vote has anything to do with what they decide to take from one group to give to another.

Title:
"Most Democrats say they would vote for a democratic socialist"

The problem is that the sheep's skin of "socialist" is but a cover for the reality of "communist" underneath.

The kicker is that many of the demo-commie voters would (and eventually will) enthusiastically vote for communism. Heck, if "socialism" is good, communism must be even better... right...?

Who coulda thought that after all the efforts expended to win the Cold War, that we could now be on the pathway to communism right here at home?
