new poll - 62% of Democrats would vote for a socialist, Dems prefer socialism over capitalism | Eastern NC Now

The takeover of the US Democrat Party by the extreme left is shown starkly in a new poll taken for the leading British news magazine The Economist.   The poll was conducted among American voters by the British polling firm YouGov.

The poll found that 62% of Democrat voters would vote for a socialist.  It also found that more Democrats supported socialism than supported capitalism.  This indicates that the Democrats are becoming a dangerously radical party of the far left.

The socialist drive within the Democrats is led by a group that calls itself Democrat Socialist of America (DSA), but its leader has openly stated "ou goal is communism."  Over half of its leaders have been identified as openly supporting communism.

Liberal Democrat MSNOW personality Danny Deutsch has expressed alarm about the DSA takeover of his party, declaring "they have gone off the rails."  But apparently there are way too many in that party who are just as extreme.
