The Democrat Party is careening off a cliff, and this latest poll confirms what conservatives have known all along: Democrats are abandoning capitalism and openly embracing socialism. The so-called “mainstream” wing of the party is losing ground fast as full-throttled socialists like Zohran Mamdani take center stage. His win in the New York City mayor’s race isn’t just a local story—it’s a glaring warning sign that the left is pushing its radical agenda straight into the heart of major American cities, where hardworking citizens are left wondering when their country turned into a socialist playground.
The numbers don’t lie. Less than half of Democrats now view capitalism favorably, while a whopping two-thirds say they have a positive view of socialism. This is a stunning reversal from just a decade ago, when capitalism was widely seen as the engine of American prosperity. Today, socialism is being sold as the new normal, despite decades of global evidence proving that socialist regimes stifle individual freedom, kill innovation, and deprive people of opportunity. Yet, leftist voters—especially younger ones—are swallowing this toxic poison, lured by empty promises of “free stuff” at the expense of the very system that created their wealth and safety.
Americans Sour On Capitalism As Democrats Go All-In On Socialism: Survey | ZeroHedge

Meanwhile, centrist Democrats and even some party leaders are sounding alarms, warning that this radical shift could destroy the party’s chances in future elections. Some are even urging socialists like Mamdani to start their own party, a clear admission that Democrats have become so politically fractured that they can no longer hold their coalition together. But history shows these warnings are too little too late. Once a party embraces socialism, it’s only a matter of time before collapse follows, as voters reject failed ideas and seek real solutions that work.
What’s truly galling is the hypocrisy of these left-wing radicals who blather on about “social justice” while promoting policies that have historically caused misery and poverty. They propose government-run grocery stores and want to dismantle policing, even in domestic violence cases. This isn’t compassion; it’s chaos masquerading as progress. Meanwhile, Republicans stand firm with capitalism—the proven system that drives innovation, creates jobs, and lifts millions out of poverty. It’s capitalism, not socialism, that has fueled America’s growth, low unemployment, and rising living standards.
The choice couldn’t be clearer. You can stick with hardworking Americans who believe in free enterprise, individual responsibility, and economic growth, or you can fall for the left’s siren song of government control and economic ruin. Socialism has failed everywhere it’s been tried, yet the radical left wants to force it down America’s throat. If Democrats continue down this path, they’re not just losing elections—they’re turning their back on everything that makes America exceptional. So, the question is simple: Are we going to let radical socialists destroy the American Dream, or will we stand up and defend the capitalism that keeps this country great?
