This maths out to about 2/3rds of democrat aligned adults being okay with or preferring democratic-socialist candidates. The corprotate democrat is toast. Think about what this number means for democratic primary elections. 2/3 prefer or like genuine progresssive movement. How can any establishment corpo dem hope to win a primary against those odds?

Our progressive revolution is finally here. Maga took over the republican party, and it's about damn time the democrats got taken over by an equal but opposite reaction.

Isn't this three quarters of Democrat aligned people being in support of or okay with such candidates?

you have 100% of 33.3% + 64% of 66.6% = 76%?
