>> Democrats make up less than half of votes I was referring to registered democrats, as I believe was the article. Regarding Medicare for all, those numbers are misleading. It has 70% of support until you get into the actual details of implementation. It's the same when folks say "An overwhelming majority of Americans support higher taxes on the rich". Well yes, but those surveys tend to leave out the definition of rich, so people tend to interpret it as "Rich = Someone who makes more money than I do". This is not to advocate against medicare for all, but rather to say that it's easy to garner support for something in the abstract without getting into all the messy details that reality likes to impose.
