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.

    We could then have an armed uprising, since openly subverting what’s left of this democracy would require widespread treason. I think a great deal of the population is holding their breath until the midterms.

    If that’s the case, where’s the preparation for that armed uprising? Because there’s a lot of stuff that needs to happen before the fascists fully seize power to enable this sort of counter-escalation. The lack of such preparation betrays the lack of will to take such drastic action, which brings us back to my point: The necessary preparations to make the votes stick need to be made before things get that far, because otherwise the fascists will win.
