Sanders Says 79% Want a 10% Credit Card Cap and Tells Democrats to Deliver

Bernie Sanders has a message for Democrats, and he brought receipts. The Vermont senator says 79% of Americans back a 10% cap on credit card interest rates, 73% want super PACs banned outright, and 66% support Medicare for All, according to a post flagged by Cointelegraph.

The credit card number is the loudest of the three. Nearly eight in ten people, by Sanders' count, want a hard ceiling of 10% on the interest rates card issuers can charge. That lands in an election season where voters keep telling pollsters that the cost of borrowing is squeezing them.

Then there's the money-in-politics figure. Sanders says 73% of Americans want super PACs gone — a striking majority given how deeply those committees are woven into modern campaigns and how hard both parties have leaned on them.

Medicare for All rounds out the trio at 66%. Sanders has pushed the single-payer plan for years, and he's framing that two-thirds support as proof the idea isn't a fringe position but a mainstream one.

The real target of the post isn't voters, though — it's his fellow Democrats. Sanders is urging the party to actually deliver on all three, turning favorable numbers into a pressure campaign aimed at lawmakers who may prefer to campaign on the ideas rather than legislate them.

Whether Democrats move on any of it is the open question. For now, Sanders is betting that three lopsided majorities are hard for his own party to ignore.
