      This headline is really underselling these poll results, for questions like these these support rates are crazy

      Would you support or oppose changing the American health care system to a single payer system in which everyone was covered by a Medicare style system of health care?

      Support: 82.8%

      Oppose: 9.6%

      and

      Would you support or oppose that change if knew you that anyone with insurance through their employer or negotiated by their union would no longer receive those benefits and would be moved to a federal health care system?

      Support: 66.5%

      Oppose: 21.5%

      Mainly because everyone has been fucked by the current system in one way or another.

      There’s a small but insane group that would rather personally die than let black people have nice things.

      If we could just like… get rid of them, or render them powerless, we’d be better off.
