It’s funny. When you laid out the individual points of Obamacare and ran some polls without the context of the name, they were quite popular. When they’re bundled together and called Obamacare, the popularity plunged.

In this case, you drop an 922 page pdf full of conservative agenda items, people will largely ignore it, because who the fuck has time to wade through a 922 page pdf? But somebody reads it, and its agenda items start to be laid out individually, and everyone hates it.

So basically, progressive policy is popular until conservatives give it a nickname and pretend it says something else. Conservative policy is not popular, and they can only get it through by obfuscating it.
