Because many of them probably actually do feel that a situation where a serious illness could likely bankrupt a family is not a good situation in the richest country in the world. In my view, she is one of the most impressive political candidates anywhere right now and I hope we see her in congress for at least another 20 years before she attempts a run at the Presidency.

However you have to be in position(with a solid core vote) for those few votes to count. Democracy is the best least best system. The US election is similar in a way to ours where the majority of votes wins.

They made some big changes to the models, indicates to me that there were big errors in the models. Why then change the models so drastically if they were within the margin of error. It's all doublespeak. As it turned out, the polls at the root of all those projections in 2016 were misleading at best, and flat-out wrong at worst. So the only thing I really got from you was, you don't really know either.

I smell a strong wiff of fear in the air, life is about progress not standing still.

Here's her NYC poll when she decided to run amazon out of town, costing thousands of jobs and billions of potential income.https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/434654-poll-38-percent-blame-ocasio-cortez-for-new-york-losing-amazon-hq-deal Almost 40 percent of New York voters in a new poll believe Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) bears responsibility as a "villain" in Amazon's decision to back out of its plan to put a second headquarters in Queens. The Siena College poll, which was released on Monday, found that 38 percent of respondents thought of the freshman lawmaker as a "villain" when they were asked to consider her role in the tech giant's exit. The survey asked respondents to identify figures in the Amazon debate as either a hero, villain or role player. Twelve percent called Ocasio-Cortez a hero, while 24 percent said she was a role player. Siena College found that 67 percent of respondents viewed Amazon's exit as a detrimental move for the state.
