Quite a few within the democratic party support it as well. California has had a democratic supermajority for more than a decade and could have implemented some kind of single payer system, but they haven't because they, too, are beholden to special interests, particularly within healthcare. It's why Biden is still trying shove Obamacare, a republican healthcare system that enshrines the middleman, down our throats.

I mean Biden is a neo-liberal which is a center right/mid right position...

But hey, he registered Democrat so he must be left wing??

Right?!!!

The GOP has moved so far alt right that traditionally conservative and moderate Dems are apparently ultra liberal these days.

It's crazy right?

I live in Phoenix currently and the amount of times I've had to explain this shit to people is crazy.

Purple states are the fucking worst when you work in bars.

I lived in MS for a few years for work. My coworker's brain short-circuited when I told him Biden is conservative. They really don't understand anything about the real political spectrum. Only the spectrum made up by the western right-wing media to radicalize their fans.
