Jimmy Dore Calls on Democrats to Withhold Support for Nancy Pelosi Unless She Brings Single Payer Medicare for All to a Vote - Corporate Crime Reporter

What do you guys think of Jimmy's plan to force a Medicare for all vote?

I think it could work in terms of forcing a vote, but I'm not sure if forcing a vote at this time is good for the cause.

I think progressives over estimate the true popularity of a lot of their positions. My feeling is that people support Medicare for all in the abstract, but that support will drop substantially once you start talking about the specifics of how it will affect everyday people. So pushing Medicare for all like this could backfire horribly. What do you think?
