Most Americans, even if they identify as conservative, support progressive policies by 60-80%, depending on the issue.

Nevertheless, the performative centrists will insist that only moderate, pragmatically incremental policies have the support of most Americans, and the majority of Americans oppose the “radical extremist” policies of the left.

Of course, in Centrist-speak, “majority of Americans” = the majority of American oligarchs.
