Some people say the world is flat or that Elvis was a space alien, so go for it.
Why have the Democrats never put universal healthcare on their agenda even tho it is a universally supported policy position, especially among their voters?
Speaking as broadly as possible 90% of Democrats say the government has a responsibility to make sure everyone has healthcare. When you phrase it as "Medicare for all" the support drops to 78%, when you say government run healthcare instead of private healthcare the support is 71%, and when you phrase it as "single payer" it drops to 52%. When you only ever have a slim majority, how a plan is implemented drastically affects the number of votes.
Dems push unpopular things all the time, but only when it serves the wealthy.
Those unpopular things usually have bipartisan support
