HARD LEFT: New Poll Shows Most DEMOCRATS Prefer ‘SOCIALISM’ to ‘Capitalism’

From the post/article:
"A stunning new poll released by Gallup shows a majority of Democrats now prefer “socialism” to “capitalism,” signaling the shocking new direction of the party just months before American voters head to the polls.
The survey finds that “for the first time in Gallup’s measurement over the past decade, Democrats have a more positive image of socialism than they do of capitalism.”
Just eight years ago, 53% of those asked said they held a positive view of socialism. That number rose to 57% in 2018. Those numbers widened when liberal voters were questioned over their views of capitalism, with just 47% viewing it favorably in 2018."
If one assumes that the Dems make up 40% (admittedly high estimare) then 23% of Americans favor socialism. Said anotherway, 23% of the country is now dedicated to the Looter mentality. Not sure what the tipping point is but I have to think that we are getting very close to it.
Perhaps I'm being too pessimistic. The poll look at who has a favorable few of socialism. Favorable view does not necessarily mean all want to adopt socialism, but they all do consider it as an option to capitalism. Even that is a scary thought.

    More evidence that the average IQ of the Democratic Party is dropping.

    They don't even know what socialism means, they're just conditioned to be in favor of things that sound good, they don't want to appear as asocial. Just a bunch of second-handers.
