Yeah, this is just straight up wrong. Even in lean-Republican or strong-Republican districts, every Democratic candidate that supported M4A won their seats.
Again, the idea that progressive policies aren't popular just isn't supported by data (e.g. polls, studies, election results, etc.). It's a nice talking point for centrists but there's a reason they can't offer anything except rhetoric and/or useless talking points (e.g. "Biden won the most votes of any candidate!").
