A new poll focusing on young people’s political views finds that, by a two-to-one margin, they tend to support rather than oppose the idea of democratic socialism. The CNBC/Generation Lab poll published earlier this week, which focused on the opinions of Americans between the ages of 18-34, asked respondents if they had favorable views of the political and economic system of governance.

You need 51% to win an election.

After Mamdani won his Mayoral election I told people here to calm down.

He'd squeaked in with 51% of the vote, against a known sexual predator and a radio shock jock. He'd have never won the primary if Eric Adams hadn't been caught up in a giant scandal.

Until the Dems have a vetoproof majority in both Houses, we're still in trouble.

The Republicans spent decades telling the world that anything and everything good was socialism.

Now they're dumbfounded that people understood it.
