iowa polling on head-to-head dems vs. trump in general shows trump edging out biden and warren, bernie the only candidate beating him -

bernie gets only a passing reference towards the middle or end of the articles. its incredible.

Bernie is going to give you all sorts of free stuff, he just has to jack your taxes through the stratosphere to somehow find an extra five trillion dollars per year, which is another 120% of the current budget and almost one fifth of the entire national GDP.

Trump wants to continue bringing jobs back into the country, lower your taxes so you keep more of your own money, protect your rights, mainly first second and fourth, from the Democrats and protect the country from illegal aliens.

I thought it largely obvious that the Democrats have 100% succumbed to the progressive technocrats and left the workers behind, which is exactly why we got Donald Trump.

Yes, and Bernie Sanders represents the only chance (in terms of presidential candidates) to counter and reverse that. So he should be vigorously supported.

If you plan to vote in the Democratic Party primary, are deciding between Warren and Sanders, and want to see real improvements in the material conditions of the mass of people, you should read this popular recent piece by Matt Karp if you havent already.

Its not short. But it does an awesome job of explaining the historical and present contexts that frame the current juncture facing the Democratic Party, and why the choice between Sanders and Warren is in fact a stark one.

Yes, Jacobin is an openly left-wing publication. There is no need to point this out.

I plucked a couple excerpts for anyone wanting a small jist of the article first:

The question here is not simply whether a Democratic candidate nominally supports unions, but where labor stands as a priority within the party. Memorably, Barack Obama supported the union-backed Employee Free Choice Act on the campaign trail, but after his election, he let the proposal die in Congress with barely a sound.

We may choose to regard this as a shameful presidential betrayal, but like many Obama-era failures, it revealed far less about Obamas personal views than about an institutional Democratic Party dominated not by labor advocates but by professional-class politicians highly attentive to their professional-class constituents. (The rise of the broader Patagonia left, as a study of fifteen European countries has found, tends to produce a less pro-worker welfare state.) As an individual Democrat, Warren may be to the left of Obama, but there is little reason to believe that she has the capacity to change this larger state of affairs.

...

Even in the best-case scenario, politics under a President Warren would almost surely resemble politics under Obama: careful negotiations between progressive professionals and stakeholders in Washington, in which the president seeks the least-worst outcome in a world of narrow and fixed constraints. An infinite variety of Yglesiases and Krugmans will luxuriate in the nuance, integrity, and ferocity of Warrens bold progressive agenda, even as fundamental economic structures remain unchanged. And then they will be shocked, just shocked, when the next Donald Trump swaggers into the White House and blows it all to bits.

your selective responding makes it seem like you're not worth engaging at all, so whatever

bottom line for now:
"As soon as they felt threatened, Warren morphed from a good progressive to a secret Republican or a neoliberal"

show me who is saying that it's a repeat of Clinton vs Sanders ideologically? next to no one is saying that because it's OBVIOUSLY not remotely accurate.

that said, what is potentially shaping up to repeat itself is the nature of the contest, as you watch established DNC power elements, mainstream media, etc, line up in support of a potential warren candidacy, in the interest of quashing their legitimate class enemy Bernie Sanders. this is also an obvious observation.

the only thing that could be remotely construed as an 'attack' is that i called it shameful to imply that you don't care about foreign policy in considering a presidential candidate, although you're gutlessly refusing to own the remark. you're aware that foreign policy is the main area that the president actually exercises massive individual control over, or no?

on foreign policy you get a continuation of the same with Warren. insane military budgets including subsidies for the arms manufacturers, regime change wars, etc. on this stuff she basically just doesn't give a fuck. it's obvious. and this is the one area the president actually has inordinate power over. so yeah, enjoy that.

on the domestic side, you can choose to believe that a technocrat's approach, a bit of regulation, naming and shaming this exec or that company, maybe even a prosecution here and there, can address the nearly total corporate seizure of the institutions and levers of power, or you can wake up. there is exactly one candidate who is identifying and constantly attempting to register the fact that a mass uprising will be necessary to actually enact structural change. that systemic change has always and will always come from the ground up, not from the top down. it doesn't mean it's guaranteed to happen, or work. but at least there's a chance.

elect warren and watch nothing fundamentally change. simple as that. Obama redux - fun.

I think that's one reason people prefer Bernie. Of all candidates except maybe Yang, he's the least guilty of playing political games.
Which I can absolutely admire and respect

But being President is like 70% playing political games

Especially if you wanna be a transformational president like Sanders or Warren. As we've seen the last 3 years just trying to brute force stuff you want and whipping your supporters up into a frenzy isn't enough

>solicits private meeting with hillary clinton during primary campaiging
>stages massive effort to reassure DNC insiders and party officials that she is a team player with no confrontational agenda
>"transformational" aspirations

Sorry, but you're wrong. Warren clearly does NOT want to be a transformational president. That only describes Bernie Sanders, who, aside from having the better platform and policies to that end, more importantly has the fundamentally correct theory of change, namely to directly challenge concentrated wealth/power and the structures that underpin them with the backing of a mass mobilized movement, which is already largely in place and growing.
Elizabeth Warren is a technocrat. She wants you to elect her and then leave her be to do the tinkering around the edges that she loves. She will accomplish nothing because she has neither the ability nor intent to take on the interests that will fight tooth and nail every step of the way. Expect Obama 2.0 except even sadder.

Or take the one realm of policy that the president actually does wield massive power over: the military, foreign policy. She's basically absent on the issue completely. Clearly not a priority.
Try to find one aspect of Elizabeth Warren that suggests she will represent anything other than status quo foreign policy, ie. aggression and regime change.
Nevermind her closeness with raytheon and approval of the most recent insane military budget.

Weiss, who did not diagnose Sanders, added, "Unless Im missing something dramatic, he should be in the hospital one or two days, and he should be fine.
