The Democratic Party as we know it is on the verge of collapse, nearly ready to capitulate to the ideology responsible for more deaths in the 20th century than 10 COVID-19 pandemics. It’s not just a small fringe of leftists anymore — according to a new poll, 58% of Democrats have a positive view of socialism, while 50% view capitalism negatively.What should be (but isn’t) more astonishing is that the more educated a Democrat is, the more likely he or she is to support socialism. Just having a college degree boosts the favorability rating to 71%, per the CBS News Poll. Were they not taught about the horrors of socialism? Evidently not, based on its 18% disapproval rating. But if you’ve stepped onto a college campus in the last decade, you’d know communism is practically a prerequisite for becoming a faculty member at most schools.
The Democratic Party has not always been this way. Going back to 2010, more Democrats supported capitalism (51%) than socialism (50%), per Gallup. In 2012, 55% favored capitalism compared to 51% for socialism. The far-left shift began in 2016, when socialism beat out capitalism for the first time. And now, there’s never been such a wide favorability gap between socialism and capitalism before. The recent CBS poll showed a 26-point gap among Democrats, with 58% supporting socialism and 32% supporting capitalism. A Gallup poll from last year showed a 24-point gap, which was the largest at the time, with 66% for socialism and 42% for capitalism.
