Portnoy eviscerates college kids pushing socialism
Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy didn’t mince words when Fox Business host Stuart Varney asked him about young progressives embracing socialism and candidates like Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani."It makes me want to puke," Portnoy told Varney during his Monday appearance on the network.
The sports media mogul had just watched a clip of Gen Z Democrats extolling the virtues of socialism, with one young voter declaring "I think more politicians should be adopting socialism."
"These are college kids. They’ve never had probably had a job in their lives. They’ve grown up probably coddled, reading books about how the world is, but they’ve never been in the real world. I don’t like any government where [it has] disincentivized initiative [or] working hard, and that’s what socialism does," Portnoy explained.
"I’m all for taking care of people and giving back," he explained. "But you know what entrepreneurs do? They create jobs, they create livings, they create wages. I just fundamentally [believe] socialism doesn’t work. There are plenty of examples…"
Young socialists live in this weird bubble where they think government can just wave a magic wand and create prosperity without anyone actually having to work for it.
They don’t understand the basic economic reality that someone has to create wealth before politicians can redistribute it...says Mamdani is scary.

They need to just start teaching in schools about communism and socialism and all the problems that causes expose it for what it really is so people can really see in young kids know about it too they need to teach about work ethic and working hard and getting something for yourselves not everything is free from the government! And it shouldn't either because it ends up making us really lazy society that doesn't want to do anything for themselves and they lose all Hope and Faith. Restore the Hope in America of our great republic!
First of all, there aren't many good teachers, just like there aren't many good doctors, or many good anything else anymore. Just teach them to read, and point out the hundreds of good books that are available on every subject under the sun. Teach them basic math, so that the ones with the aptitude can go on to build a bridge that won't fall down, or a plane that won't crash. How about a computer scientist who doesn't want to destroy the world. Most of the really smart people are in think tanks, or writing books.
