When your movement goes from 1% support to 3% it really feels that way.
You are thinking of linux adoption. I'm talking about the proportion of democrats who identify or prefer socialism.
Conservative Brief?
Get better sources bro.
You have the nuance of a cinderblock. I'm steel manning the argument: Because even the far right recognize the ascendancy and popularity of Democratic Socialism.
Like, I don't actually believe you believe most of the shit you say any more. No one can be both this terminally online and simultaneously this obtuse.
The far right are obviously going to exaggerate that.
You understand this is why you and yours have no relevancy right? This are basic ass debate-pervert tropes. These wouldn't even fly in 2001 internet debate.
You don't like reality so you attack the source, which is practically a copy-pasta of the original pew poll.
You are hollow. Your worldview is empty. You don't live in a verifiable, reproducible version of reality.
Headline:
‘About a third of U.S. Democrats like political leaders who identify as democratic socialists’
Or a third of a half of Americans who register as democrat or republican like socialism.
Now Democrats have 44.4 million registered members so you’re saying 14.8 million Americans out of 350 million like socialism which is like 4.2%.
Sorry I under estimated it at 3%.
I mean you can twist yourself into pretzels all you like. But none of that twisting inside your mind changes the world outside of it: That's the hollowness I'm pointing out.
I used facts and numbers for my argument and you respond with that?
ftfy.
I see more feelings from you and no facts or numbers.
The fact is that Democratic Socialists have wiped the floor with "centrist" candidates from Palm Beach to Sacramento, and we're heading into what might the most extreme blue wave election since 1994, possibly ever, precisely because of people like Hasan Piker building up candidates in the primaries and killing centrism in the crib, where it deserves to die and stay dead. Worthless maggots on MSNow or MSNBC are now squealing because you've lost control of the narrative. But reality is that you did this to yourself.
The idea that candidates should appeal to the "center" handed the country to fascism in 2024. That has now become the collective understanding. Progressivisim/ Democratic socialism is saving the country from fascism.
Like you are arguing with yourself buddy, and its pathetic.
People voting Trump or not voting handed the country to fascism and people like you helped depress the vote.
Again. You are only talking to yourself.
A year ago, the world believed you. Now everyone recognizes you to be the pariah you always were.
