In reply to the discussion: LA Times: The "Elizabeth Warren Wing" of The Democratic Party On The Ascendancy [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)33. We need to return to being the party of working people, the middle class and the poor.
Let Republicans represent the minority of business leaders in our country.
Back in the days of the corner grocery store and the prevalence of small businesses, Republicans could represent business and have a good following. Now that the real bosses are few and the employees' category made up of almost all people, Democrats should represent working people and be really open about it.
Everybody knows which side I am on.

it isn't even about "liz," so much as it's about the distaste for more centrist, third way..

Mrs. Clinton couldn't win a primary in 2008; she's far more id'd w/ corporate interests now.

I registered as a Dem to influence the party, not to be a blind follower.

I'm a Democrat and a Socialist. So, I don't mind if a Dem runs with a Socialist or vice-versa.

Warren not getting the CFPB post may have been the best favor Repubs gave the Dems (n/t)

Why is there an "insert Democrat's name" wing of the Democratic party every election cycle?

She is not as liberal as you think. I figure she will eventually say or do something

Warren doesn't have Clinton's tangled web of financial/political payback obligations.
