We apologize for having been mistaken in our analysis of the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America. We had been writing that even most Democrats don’t support the DSA agenda. Sadly, we were wrong.

This new Quinnipiac poll tells us that the socialism virus is rapidly infecting more Democratic voters:

We are hoping and praying that sentiment against the DSA will grow after more voters learn about their new platform, released in June. It proposes to “draft a new constitution, and create a democratic socialist republic.”

The DSA’s own most recent survey of its members found that over 35% hold a graduate or professional degree versus only 14% of the general population. Nearly half of DSA members earn less than $60,000 a year, clustered in occupations like social work, teaching, health care and non-profit employment.

All of those areas have one thing in common: they are heavily dependent on government spending and grow in direct proportion to having more resources extracted from taxpayers.
