Only 9 percent of Americans younger than 30 have a “very positive” view of capitalism, according to a new CBS/YouGov poll.
That shows a stark generation between Generation Z and older generations.
The data arrives amid a surge in democratic socialist victories across the U.S. — and not just in progressive corners of the country. Florida state Rep. Angie Nixon (D) on Tuesday beat out the more moderate Alex Vindman (D) in the Democratic Senate primary in Florida, a state known for its sunshine, not socialism.
Yes, but their lack of participation (~50% for Gen Z and ~60% for Millennials) gives the 70-75% of Gen X and Boomers who do vote control. IMO the people who voted for the child rapist did so because they were stupid enough to believe his campaign promises and ignore the dumpster fire of his first term. As absurd as it was, they expected him to make their daily lives better because he said only he can do it.
Things have gotten significantly worse for people since then and they’re reminded of his bullshit every time they pay their rent, buy groceries, pay for their health insurance, and fill their tank, not to mention look at the news. I think even the most oblivious have noticed by now. One can hope, anyway.
