Its not even a real thing. There is no contingent of voters who will vote for “means-tested subsidies to buy health insurance from 1 of 50 marketplaces based on what your family’s expected healthcare needs are and employer contribution”, but won’t vote for free healthcare. There is no “help Israel do only a little genocide” vote.

But every time, cable news would dupe the poor man into voting for what some imaginary moderate wanted instead of policy that materially benefits everyone.
