A lot of Americans "definitely do not want" Obamacare either, but they sure don't want to give up the improvements that came with the Affordable Care Act.

In other words, Americans hate the label, but not the policies.

(By the way, regarding your other comment: FDR doesn't get to decide what words mean. It doesn't matter whether he called himself a socialist or not; what matters is whether he acted like one.)
