Well, if you want to find out who and who doesn't, I found this site called isidewith.
http://www(dot)isidewith(dot)com/poll/311933500
The socialist Peace and Freedom Party discusses Obama's alleged socialism:
"Given his handling of the economy and adding in his generosity toward rich bankers and corporations, it looks as though Barrack Obama is not attempting to build socialism. Instead, it seems he is attempting to rebuild capitalism again and, surprisingly, doing so with a lot of resistance from capitalists themselves!
Are there some Democrats who are socialists? Yes. There are some socialists who work within the Democratic Party hoping to steer it to the left. But the party leadership is not, by any legitimate definition, socialist. They are just as beholden to, and in awe of, corporate interests as the Republicans. Democrat’s attempts to make our economy fairer are like putting a smiley face on an unjust economic system."
And now, let's observe the two most left-leaning parties that Isidewith gives: the Greens and the Socialists.
The question: Do you approve or disapprove of President Obama's handling of the economy?
Socialists: Approve: 40% Disapprove: 23% Not sure: 37%
Greens: Approve: 67% Disapprove: 16% Not sure: 17%
I just found this a bit interesting. Many leftists often accuse Obama of being a corporate puppet, and say that he's a terrible president. But according to this website, it seems maybe socialists/progressives do approve of Obama after all.
By the way, it breaks up the votes a lot more ways than just by party. It also divides it by income, race, marital status, location, education level, etc. And there are a lot more polls than just this one. Check it out.
And of course, I'm not implying Obama is or isn't a socialist. I'm just pointing out what I view to be a bit of hypocritical thinking from the left wing in criticizing Obama as a corporate puppet but then supporting his economic policies. |
