And for centrist Dems in swing districts: The reality is M4A *is* the mainstream policy. It& #39;s hugely popular. If you can& #39;t do the work of communicating that to constituents, than being in the House is not a good fit for you.
Dems run away from hugely popular bread and butter issues because 1) LEADERSHIP doesn& #39;t like those ideas and 2) Because many Dems take money from people who stand to no longer personally profit under M4A. That& #39;s it.
Part of the job of electeds is to communicate policies to their constituents. If they can& #39;t successfully explain huge policies with literal day-to-day consequences for every single American, why do they think going smaller, more in the weeds will work well for them?
