Only 43% of Americans are for a government run health care system according to the Gallup polls you just provided. That basically excludes single payer health care. What Democrats believe does not matter, as it does not win elections.
Politicans try to judge public sentiment and what it could turn into and only do act, when something is populare. Even then they are more likely to not do it, but for the most part they try to be reelected. Hence trying to appease donors and the public. The simple dumb truth is that climate activists in the US have failed to lay the groundwork for a strong climate policy. Most only just agree that something should be done. Actually doing something, which requires some sort of sacrifice is not going to happen.
The advantage of having somebody like Harris is that they are more likely to actually enact left leaning policies, if they are populare enough. Never expect them to do anything even when necessary, if it destroys their chance of reelection. This also includes all other politicans and last time I checked a president needs the approval of the House to enact laws.
It’s your truth perhaps but a policy that has more than 3/4 of the support of the Dem voting populace should be adopted and advertised loudly lest she actually LOSE this election. Hillary and many before her showed us that people don’t show up to vote for someone who promises “more of the same”. Much like old school republicans and their tough on crime ethos, you don’t inspire people with fear unless you intentionally refuse to offer them anything other than fascism.
The truth is, she doesn’t WANT to say anything about the environment or true Single Payer Medicare for All because she simply doesn’t support it (and the power brokers behind the DNC won’t allow it) and anti-democratically chose her specifically because of her ability to do whatever her donors say behind closed doors.
They are literally standing in the way of what people want. They’ve been doing it since Joe Lieberman castrated Single Payer and you dumbass Dems just keep nodding your heads in agreement.
We need to get the guillotines out and you’re sitting here feigning that things cannot change for the better.
"…the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action’; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season.’ - MLK”
If you want to see what happens, when you run a full on populist left platform, look at the UK with Corbin vs Johnson. The media runs a massive shit storm against Corbin and Labour lost in a landslide, besides having some really good points. Core Labour voters, especially the left wing loved Corbin though.
So what you’re saying is it is genuinely damage reduction to work towards the destruction of the US because Americans are so selfish they will overconsume the planet into massive environmental degradation.
More that the US media and politicians are controlled by capitalism and they are not going to do anything hurting that, unless they face a large enough movement, which could actually hurt them. So the best course is to elect the least corrupt politician(and they all are corrupt), who might have some morals in them, to then force them to take action.
Also the US desperately needs stronger and more left leaning institutions.

That is absolutely disgusting gaslighting you’re doing. You’re either a healthcare-employee or you’re just an absolute goon of an idiot.
Nice cherry picking. Now do Democrats, you corporatist cuck.

My truth is that most Americans are neither Democrats nor Republicans, but Independents. Both Democrats and Republicans mostly vote for the respective party anyway, so the Independent group is the main target.
