Poll: 47% of Young Democrats Prefer Other Countries over America

A shocking new poll has discovered that 47 percent of young Democrats believe that other countries are better than the United States. Moreover, many young Americans admit that they wouldn’t mind other countries becoming as militarily powerful as the United States.

Slightly more than one third — 36 percent — of Americans 18 to 29 say that other countries are better than the United States, according to a recent poll released by Pew Research.

Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents under the age of 30, nearly half, 47 percent, say that there are other countries that are better than the U.S. Meanwhile, just 20 percent of Democrats age 50 and over agree with this sentiment.

“Democrats have become more likely to say there are other countries that are better than the U.S.,” says Pew Research. “In telephone surveys, the share of Democrats saying this is higher than at any point since the question was first asked by Pew Research Center in 2011, and there has been a corresponding decline in the share saying the U.S. stands above other nations.” This poll demonstrates the dramatic shift in the Democrat party’s base, and the potential schism between traditional Democrat voters and young and woke progressives.

The study also noted that young Americans are “more likely to say it would be acceptable if another country became as militarily powerful as the U.S.”

Is there a way to faciltate that request?  I'd chip in.

A millenial democrat.....   A worst case scenario

I'd prefer them to live in other countries.

Well, bye!

Doubt it. If they were anywhere but America. I cannot imagine they would survive.
They would be in jail or a mental institution in no time.
"But, but, a man can menstrate! A man can be a woman,
if he believes it really super-dog double dog cross my heart believes it."

These guys would be locked up in a loony-bin in weeks.

I used to watch House Hunters international, a show about people looking for homes in foreign countries.  The show is largely fabricated, although the premise of people moving to these countries is real.  Some are moving for work or school, but many of them "always dreamed of living in X country."  Maybe they visited the country once or always heard what a great place it is to live. 

I wonder how many of those who relocated because they thought a certain country would be better than the US have returned home because they found out their dream country wasn't so wonderful after all.  Too bad I've never seen a follow-up on how many of those people featured on House Hunters International came back to the US. 

Not a world traveler, but I've visited a few countries in my younger days.  They were great countries to visit because for many of these countries, tourism is a major industry.  So of course, these countries put their best foot forward to impress the tourists.  But all of them had downsides, some of which were major, and these downsides were never presented to the tourists.  I think these people who believe other countries are better than the US have never bothered to consider the disadvantages of living outside the US.

Why go elsewhere when what they really want is to Bleep-up the USA?

I've visited Britain four or five times since 2006 visiting my wife's sisters in England and Scotland. The average stay has been two or three weeks at a crack.
Britain is a nice country, and I even like the food.
Nevertheless, after about a week I couldn't wait to get on a plane and get back home.
One huge reason is the feeling of constantly living in a cramped country. The houses are smaller, the cars are smaller, the roads narrower, and there are no wide open spaces.
Would a person living in a third world country think they'd arrived in paradise if they'd managed to secure a life in Britain? Very possibly so. Clean, neat, orderly, and little fear of crime. The countryside is pretty, and the views are often spectacular if you're in Scotland.
Plus, I saw very little evidence of a Muslim takeover even after staying in London a number of days during different visits including one whole week one time.
But for someone who is used to much larger accommodations, it's very difficult to live smaller.
There are other reasons to prefer being an American, like not worrying about getting thrown into jail for saying something derogatory about certain people. That can happen in Britain if the wrong person overhears you.
Let's just say I'm very proud and happy to be an American no matter what liberal nutcases are trying
their hardest to destroy what The Founders created.

[berdie]

I say they should go. They'll be back. They are so enamored by the lure of "free stuff" they fail to see the cost.

I can't say I'm widely traveled. But I can't think of a country I would want to live in.

[Hoodat]

This type of thinking is not new.  I seem to recall Democrats remarking on what wonderful things Germany was doing for its people in the 1930s.

Brainwashed useful idiots with heads full of "mush" (and I'm being nice here   ).   And just think... it only took America's enemy without 60 years (another generation) to pull off one of their main agenda items and goals.....

with the help of America's enemy within, le DemocRats.

[skeeter]

I'd prefer them to live in other countries.

Looking at current demographic trends I'd be entirely unsurprised to find out most young Democrats CAME from other countries.

[libertybele]

I'm hoping that they'll all move before the next election.

We have ourselves to blame.  We have an Education Secretary, and it should have been addressed in our public schools.  They should have been stopping the socialism indoctrination long ago.

Are you ignorant of the Communist training these young Democrats are getting at the Universities?

If I had to choose a country outside of America to live in it would hands down be Hungary.

I thank Almighty God every day that I was born here.

But if 47% of the Democrats left for 'greener pastures', It'd sure make it easier to get this place back on track.

Ah it was just a joke anyhow... You'll never find me south of Utah. Actually, if I had to beat feet it would be Alberta or the Northern Territories. 

Too many snakes in Texas anyway.

Well, I am used to getting drunk and passing out just about anywhere... with no (unexpected) adverse effects... No snakes, no scorpions. Not a single damn lizard anywhere. I like that.
