What @JonathanChait does here to try and manufacture consent:
1) Borrow effective anti #MedicareForAll polling language—i.e. replacing all private health insurance with government plan—while ignoring M4A had majority support (in some polls among GOP too) when phrased differently

2) List a bunch of policies that the majority of polls don't show as top issues/priorities among Democratic or independent voters--and prop up their importance to try and weaken @BernieSanders case.
3) Intentionally leave out of your anti-@BernieSanders piece the array of other policy issues Bernie champions that have overwhelming support
-Raising minimum wage
-Green New Deal
-Free public college

4) Latch onto the trusted socialist boogeyman argument while ignoring the fact that in polls, including Gallup, popularity of Socialism has increased BEYOND Capitalism.
