I & I Editorial BoardA shocking poll has found that voters are more likely to support a Democratic Socialist of America candidate over one who is supported by President Donald Trump or identifies with the Make America Great Again movement. Anyone who doesn’t tremble for their country after learning this is part of the problem.
The CNBC poll taken a little more than a month ago shows that 32% of U.S. voters are more likely to support a self-described DSA candidate while only 29% are more likely to back a candidate endorsed by Trump. The figure falls to 27% for the self-described supporters of the MAGA movement.
Granted, the numbers are not that far apart. But the fact that more than even 10% of voters would cast their ballots for the depraved Democratic Socialists, who celebrated the 100th birthday of Fidel Castro, the jailer, torturer, and murderer of thousands, and demand the U.S. pay Cuba reparations, is discouraging. The danger is no longer on the fringe but in the room with us right now.
The media and the Democratic Party sure have done their job, and they’ve done it well, working hard for more than a decade to make sure large chunks of the population believe that Trump, his supporters, and those who vote for him because the alternatives have been wretched are Nazis, Fascists, racists, and deplorables.
The same media, with the help of the Democratic Party, have promoted, celebrated, and nurtured the socialists, some of whom are in fact communists, that have infested our politics. What we learn every time a Zohran Mamdani, Hasan Piker, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed, or Darializa Avila Chevalier is gushed over by the media, the useful idiots of Generation Z and any previously standard Democratic politician just how willfully ignorant, deranged, and dangerous those leftist politicians are.
To vote for a Democratic Socialist is to vote for:
- Government ownership of the largest corporations and key industries
- Amnesty for illegal immigrants
- Defunding the U.S. military
- Abolishing jails and prisons
- Eliminating the presidency, Senate, and Supreme Court
- Decriminalizing shoplifting because it’s “biological need“
We believe neither Trump nor the MAGA movement are perfect. Perfection is not possible when humans are involved. But they offer far better than the Marxist chunder that’s gacked up by the malcontented spawn of the Democratic Party.
While the DSA figures might seem to be clowns — and they are certainly liars, pretending to represent the working class when they are in fact the spoiled and unaccomplished children of privilege — they are gathering clout. Wake up, Americans. Let’s not vote our way into socialism only to learn that the only option for escaping its noose is to shoot our way out.

I would be very skeptical about the accuracy of any poll sponsored by the legacy media or the Democrats. Polls in Michigan and Wisconsin had the DSA candidates for the Senate primaries ahead by up to 16% and 22%. The actual elections were decided by margins of +1.0% and -0.5%.
That’s not bad methodology, the polls were skewed intentionally to favor the DSA.
The silver lining is that these polls just might shock the average voter into voting against socialists in the midterms.
The huge dose of socialism imposed by the Biden Administration during the lockdown inflated prices by at least 30%, and many Americans are smart enough to connect massively wasteful federal spending with massive inflation.
I think this line really says it all.
“While the DSA figures might seem to be clowns — and they are certainly liars, pretending to represent the working class when they are in fact the spoiled and unaccomplished children of privilege — they are gathering clout.”
These types are always with us, always sure, rarely right, barely competent and demanding an utopian perfection from those they defame; a perfection they’re totally incapable of delivering themselves, and in the end, they deliver dystopia, misery, suffering, and early death. They never saw a leftist mass murdering tyrant they didn’t love.
Excellent article and my hope is that Americans will wake up to this nonsense of the DSA. I personally believe that we are living in the end times and if there is a change in party in 2028, and if it is the DSA that comes to power, we as a country and society are doomed. Unfortunately, I see no other way to regain control of our country than to see an all out civil war. I hope that doesn’t happen, but then again, I see where people who do not know or remember history are close to repeating the same mistake. May God help us all.

“CNBC Poll…” As soon as you use cnbc as a source, I move on. cnbc, really?”
This fear, real or not, is a very sound reason to raise the age to vote so we have more mature, wiser and more worldly voters.
What 18 year old knows his bottom from a hole in the ground regarding the many complicated issues we vote on?
Age was 21 before Vietnam War; perhaps we should raise it to 25 this time so we have young voters who are old enough to have lived in the real world away from the political nonsense taught in our universities or have had been through at least one cycle of politics already? I was not full informed, interested nor mature enough until I was 35 to be a really responsible voter.
