But, when election time comes, will they?
Most say they wouldn’t back democratic socialist presidential candidate: Survey
Most Americans say they wouldn’t support a democratic socialist presidential candidate, according to a new poll.
In The Washington Post/Ipsos poll, 55 percent of respondents said they wouldn’t “consider” casting their ballot for a self-identified democratic socialist presidential candidate, while 39 percent said the opposite and 6 percent did not respond.
Democratic socialists have recently stepped into the national spotlight with notable primary wins in places such as New York and Colorado. One win was that of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani last year against former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary. Mamdani has now become one of the most prominent Democrats in the country.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), another prominent democratic socialist, is one of a few names being discussed as a possible 2028 presidential contender.
Sadly, the poll doesn’t have any toplines or distinction between parties/political belief, it simply asks the question of voting and breaks between those 3 answers.
A follow up question asks about the DSA wackos influence on the Dem party, with 30% saying too much influence, 15% too little, 15% just right, and 41% not sure. It would be fantastic to see how Democrats and Independents feel about these questions. The DSA crap seems to work well in hardcore Dem run cities, at least for the moment, but, will that continue?
Wisconsin voter Ian Anderson couldn’t have been happier to cast his ballot Tuesday for democratic socialist Francesca Hong in the swing state’s primary for governor.
“She’s exactly the burst of energy we need,” Anderson said after voting early in the liberal stronghold of Madison.
But 80 miles down the road in Milwaukee, Democratic voter Steve Wiesner said if Hong wins the Aug. 11 primary he will vote Republican for the first time in his life.
“I would never support her or any DSA candidate at this point,” Wiesner said, using the acronym for Democratic Socialists of America. He voted for long-shot candidate Joel Brennan.
But a chaotic primary, and the rise of Hong, has amplified angst among voters and party insiders that Democrats may be squandering their chances to retain control of the governor’s office and flip both chambers of the Legislature to earn full control of Wisconsin state government for the first time since 2010.
How much of her rise was driven by the wacko extreme of the Dem party, which is now colliding with the reality that the average Democrat voter may have TDS, but, aren’t interested in the Socialist wacko agenda?

Diaper Donny, King Fascist, calls them communists! The MONSTERS!!
They want universal healthcare!! They want our BILLIONAIRE rulers to pay more taxes!! They want us to stop invading other nations!! They want us to burn less coal, oil and gas!! They want Congress, the president and the Supreme Court to work FOR the people!! They want to get Big Business OUT of government. They want government to address housing.
If you want examples of Social Democracies look at Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, France, Switzerland, Japan, S Korea, Germany, etc.
Diaper Don fiddles while America burns.
Recent election results show that the vast majority of Democrats will indeed vote for whoever the Party puts on the ballot. Anyone. Maybe it’s because in those places that are dominated by the Party, voters are no longer required.
