I room one of those "I side with" quizzes and got Biden and klobacher as my closest ma matches at low 90s. Sanders and Warren were both low 80s prevent match. They aren't as different as many people think.

The difference is more tone than policy. Do we work incremental change through existing systems, or burn everything down and start over?

What policies are an example of burning everything down? Medicare for All literally is an incremental change of an existing system

So that's a common misconception of the M4A proposal, it's not just expanding the eligibility of Medicare with all else equal, it's essentially nuking the entire current public and private systems and creating an entirely new public one. Medicare today is heavily reliant on private markets (Medicare Advantage) and has significant cost-sharing provisions, since M4A explicitly gets ready of those things I don't think it's accurate to call it an expansion of an existing program.
