These statistics quantitatively express a significant shift in political mood and perspective that has occurred over just the last year, as the COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged the US and the world.
This is a unnecessarily defeatist take on what is good news. Like a majority of young people in the US are looking for alternatives to the capitalist status quo.
There is no major, organized force advancing the working class revolutionary alternative, so why would that even register as an option for most people? If you’re a revolutionary socialist, your job is to work with the consciousness of the working class as it exists and raise a revolutionary perspective grounded in conditions as they actually exist.
Why would you frame the question as whether people are willing to give up their safety and comfort? Putting the working class in power is the basis for improving conditions for working class people.
