I agree, Bernie would have won in my book, said it then and I’ll say it now

I don’t vote myself, but I have a few relatives who will vote whoever I ask them to.
I do like her policies.
Unlike certain idiots who gave us Trump, I won’t say never to anyone...
Fox as their material for tomorrow.
this country is doomed
I'm slow this morning, I don't get it, what's wrong there?
Damn sight better than voting Harambe. She is saying she will vote for the nominee.
The president of the leading democratic think tank is scolding the star of hot tub time machine for not doing more to elect Hillary Clinton
Oh wow, I had no idea who Cusack was.
Tanden is a complete Hillary sycophant
six months ago she was "capitalist to my bones" now people think she is a viable candidate to keep big banks pharma companies in line. This country is soo fecked

You sure about Warren? She has been consistently for regulations all her life. At least to my little knowledge.

She's been for these policies for a fairly long time.
just watch the Corporate media repackage the same shit like Harris, Booker, Gillibrand and Biden sell it.
I can just picture Liz walking into the offices of the Wall Street with her regulations papers and the response beingsix months ago she was "capitalist to my bones" now people think she is a viable candidate to keep big banks pharma companies in line. This country is soo fecked

Fortunately it doesn't work like that. Congress passes a law and the Prez signs. No wall street convincing required.
What is this ridiculous idea that suddenly Warren is a corporate Democrat? Is it just the normal 'throwing shades at anyone who is not Sanders'? It's a bit bonkers to be honest.
That's pretty naive
She is a capitalist. Which makes her a less good choice for people who oppose capitalism.
It's the latest far left fad - "you're either a full on socialist or you're a corporate sellout".
Again, it's not that at all. The left believes in policies not politicians and the fact that centrists cant understand that explains so much of why they cant win elections.
Obviously, we can't have someone on ballot to cater to any extreme, right or left. We have one in office who shuts down the Government because of Ann fecking coulter.
Don't think she's been forgiven for 2016 yet.
I've forgiven Eboue for voting Harambe. He better do it too then. If Dems can't straighten out their shit against Trump, they are seriously close to Unabomber's description of the left.
I think both sides of the divide would back her in a GE, but without much enthusiasm. And the lack of enthusiasm makes me think she'll struggle to get there anyway. I'm interested to start seeing the fundraising figures come in, because I think anyone not called Bernard Sanders basing their campaign around small donations could struggle a lot.
I don't see much difference between her and Sanders. They are both fairly fervent in their views and the only reason she is viewed as less viable is because women candidates tend to be evaluated on fairly gendered terms of likability, assertiveness etc.
I would be happy to vote Warren, I just dont think she goes nearly far enough.
Yea but really it should be Sanders.
There's about 2 billion reasons why this isn't true

Also banks has never been to fussed with following the existing rules of law.

Bernie realises to have any hope of changing the power structure of the US economy it will take a mass movement of some kind. Warren thinks stacks of A4 paper will do the trick.
Even with a mass movement, the ordinary functions of government still apply. The house creates the bills, moves them on to the Senate and eventually for the President to sign.
But the only way insure the ordinary functions of the government aren't in favour of Wall Street is pressure from a mass movement(Worker movement in all likelihood)and even then you have to be extremely lucky.
Without this you have no actual power.
I doubt there will ever be a viable worker movement here, as it's just not in the DNA of American culture. What would be feasible is a system that works in a more balanced way where the middle class and lower income people have more access to social mobility through education, well paying jobs, healthcare and the other stuff that people generally need. Having a vast majority of the wealth coagulated among the top .001 percent is something that can actually be simply remedied by electing a new Potus and supermajorities in both houses of Congress.
"I may not be getting all The Breaks but I am Kurtis Blowing my chances at the presidency"
Yeah even from a far I think it's almost impossible. Although more to weakness of the current workers movement rather than culture although I live thousands of miles away so I really no nothing about the US(The US does have a great history of strong workers movements though)
And I would agree with you there is a lot of possible gains but for me if you are going to take on Wall Street you will need a mass movement. Which just isn't in the liberal politics of Warren.
