1. Seriously? This is just Democrats, silly

This post -- and Raw Story's headline -- is an insult to everyone's intelligence.

It only cites support among Democrats. (And only in three states, none of which are in the south.)

Seriously? If we wanted propaganda, we'd go to Fox News.

Here is a competent, current survey of Dems, Republicans and independents:

And it says clearly:

"[Kaiser Family Foundation] polling finds more Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents would prefer voting for a candidate who wants to build on the ACA in order to expand coverage and reduce costs rather than replace the ACA with a national Medicare-for-all plan."

When there are even modest differences in how M4A is described, support for M4A falls, the poll found.

Now, imagine how M4A will fare after the Republicans' onslaught of negative ads.

So, please, take your propaganda somewhere else.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
