CNN’s Harry Enten Breaks Down ‘Stunning’ Rise of Democratic Socialists in Dem Party
Mediaite ^ | June 19, 2026 | Alex Griffing

Posted on 06/19/2026 9:34:09 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

CNN senior data correspondent Harry Enten reported on Friday on what he called one of the most “stunning” trends he’s “seen in covering politics over the last 15, 16 years” – the rise of democratic socialists inside the Democratic Party.

Anchor John Berman kicked off the segment, asking, “So when we talk about democratic socialists, how are they viewed inside the Democratic Party?”

Enten replied, “Yeah, you know, you mention New York, you mentioned Vermont, obviously, there’s the D.C. mayor. We’ve seen it in Pennsylvania as well. The Democratic Socialists seem to be doing considerably better than they used to be, and they have the chance to knock off, in fact, Democratic incumbents in Congress.”

“And part of the reason for that, why we’re seeing these Democratic Socialists having such good chances, or downright outright winning nominations, is — take a look here. Net favorability among Dems, Democratic Socialists of America — look at that, a plus-17-point net favorability rating among Democrats,” Enten explained, adding:

That is actually better — that is better than how congressional Democrats are viewed by Democrats, at just plus four points. So, no wonder Democratic socialists have such a good chance, because, simply put, they are a better brand at this point than Democrats in Congress.

Berman followed up, “Among Democrats, it’s interesting to see who they like more. All right, and you’ve used this number before. I always find this fascinating: when you compare socialism to capitalism, how are they doing right now?”

Why is this “stunning”? Its been going on for years. Only someone who has been deluding themselves hasn’t seen it. Its the logical next step in that lethal combination of the politics of envy and the normalization of the massive system of transfer payments from “the rich” (whatever that means these days) to the Dems’ constituency (not the poor; whoever votes Dem). Plus indoctrination of the young by lunatic Left college professors who never had to earn an honest day’s living.

They need to be on ballots as separate party, not hidden within democrats.

It was a "capitalist" ceremony. The Knicks won the NBA Championship.

I thought all teams were "equal".

BTW, Mamdani didn't move to USA until 1998. The last time the Knicks made it to the Finals was in 1999.

The good old days will be returning soon under the Democratic Socialists! Imagine marching in parades with banners celebrating the party with slogans like 'America Erwache Awake!' Standing in stadiums cheering while thousands of Democratic Socialist party loyalists are on the field standing in orderly rows. And then the party leaders come out onto the field to thunderous cheers of "Hail victory!"

Imagine the fun when Democratic Socialist party activists stand in front of certain shops, holding signs that say, "Americans, don't buy from Zionist occupiers!"

So inspirational! Such a promise of a bright future!

They are a mix of fascists and communist. Let them get into real power and you ain’t seen nothing yet.

Letting women vote was the worst mistake this country ever made. It WILL be the one thing that will lead to it destruction soon.

Women love big Sugar Daddy government because it favors them, subsidizes them, protects them. Then these women proclaim they don’t need a man.

Also, 50 years of millions of migrants from third world shitholes has inflated the ranks of the Rat party.

The American empire is going to collapse and then look out below.

No, they shouldn’t run as democrats. You wonder what kind of chances they’d have if they actually ran as socialist or communist instead of with a D after their name.

Excellent analysis and summary. Envy, IMHO, is the deadliest of the seven deadly sins.

The Communist Party USA has never changed it’s position. The Democrats have simply moved into the Commie Camp.

They’ve always been there. It’s just that more are willing to say it publicly.
