Current Events > My friend told me he think's Warren is a Neo Conservative

(+) Yeah! (+)

My friend from college is like a hard core socialist, works in the DSA, etc. And he was telling me Warren is a Neo Conservative and when I argued that it wasn't fair to call her that he got angry and told me to actually look at her foreign policy stances.

Am I just ignorant or is Warren a Neo Con? I always thought she was like just a normal liberal, maybe slightly to the left of how Obama governed.

She talks alot about Progressive stances then backs down so far that the conservatives agree with her. She was a Conservative til Bill Clinton moved the Democrats to the right. Then she joined them.

warren's okay but not a fan of healthcare for all because of it's costs.

imagine taking anything a person in the DSA says seriously

I think that's a bad take; Warren's foreign policy is probably where she's weakest, but she's not a neocon. I haven't heard her be as vocally anti-war as Sanders, and there's some green imperialism to her climate plans, but she isn't going to be out there cheerleading regime change I don't think.

This.

"Won't give me free stuff!" is "neocon" now.

Thanks, I was actually kinda hoping you'd respond to this since you're CE's radical these days.

I still would much rather have Sanders but I just think my friend is getting a little overboard with politics.

My friend that works for the CIA told me the same thing.

Primaries break some people's brains. Obviously I prefer Sanders to Warren, but you don't have to make her out to be Hillary 2.0 to justify that.
