The most insane part about this is that, since hating AI data centers is bipartisan for voters, the Republican candidate, Tom Tiffany, is promising to end data center subsidies.
Brother, according to that logic, YouTube is a national security risk. I was refering to things the American govt labels as a national security risk to protect corporate interests.
I guess. TikTok did raise awareness of the Gaza genocide and, by extension, create instability in the US. It also distanced the public from the US government's closest ally, Israel.
I guess we will see if those numbers are outweighed by general democrats and independents who don't have a home of their own, jobs, or retirement savings and see the changes they want reflected in Socialist politician platforms.
If your argument is to not rely 100% on polls, just say that lol.
DSA is going to keep on fighting and winning, at least sometimes. I am going to back whoever is against Republicans with my vote, and I hope you do to, even if they have the word Socialism in their platform.
What this poll says to me is that Socialism is not seen as a boogeyman AS MUCH as it used to be. Which is pretty damn good news for anybody using the word in their campaign.
Brother, a black man with the middle name of Hussein won a presidential election.
Yes, racism and mysogyny were challenges in the 2024 race, but it was the Democratic policy that was the primary issue.
Look at what Obama offered in his race and compare it to what Kamala offered in her race. That lack of promise accompanied with her refusal to split from Biden on foreign policy (Gaza) was enough to both not draw in enough voters and push some over to Trump.
Take a look at Trump's policies as well. We who are here know he was lying, but to the uneducated voter, it sounded good enough to vote for over the other candidate.
Polls on views of an ideology and party polls of a candidate are a bit different.
Regardless, these are real views from people who respond to polling opportunities, so they will most likely vote in kind.
You can absolutely make the argument that the sample size is too small to get an accurate read on how the US would vote in a presidential run, but it is not really a reason to say that DSA candidates will never win.
Current evidence says otherwise in regards to who the 'weaker' candidate is, but that doesn't mean the fearmongering won't activate enough R voters in the general to out vote the progressive's momentum.
Echelon Insights suggested that Republican-leaning voters may have helped Stevens in the Detroit metro area.
The tightness of Abdul's primary kinda has me worried. Apparently, there was an amount of Republicans who signed into the open Democratic primary to try to tank his chances. I don't think we have the numbers for how many yet, but it will be concerning if it is only a small portion.
A bunch of interviews have shown that a lot of the people who voted for Trump just wanted a change candidate, who ended up doing the opposite of delivering. Hopefully those people will come out swinging for change candidates of the opposite flavor.
