    Ep 182: Democratic Socialism's Rising Popularity

    In this episode of 'Left on Red,' hosts Susan and Scott welcome Gabe and Jared from the DSA Fund and the Center for Working Class Politics, respectively, to discuss findings from a newly commissioned poll on the popularity of democratic socialism in the U.S. They explore trends among different demographics, especially the support among younger generations and skepticism toward capitalism. They address the notion that figures like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are exceptional due to their charisma rather than the appeal of socialism itself. The conversation also dives into the challenges DSA faces in converting broad support for socialism into organizational membership and expanding influence. The discussion raises the need for strategic campaigns, labor support, and combating media bias to mobilize broader public engagement and electoral success for democratic socialist policies.
