In reply to the discussion: LA Times: The "Elizabeth Warren Wing" of The Democratic Party On The Ascendancy [View all]Flatpicker
(894 posts)79. I want a Progressive Democrat as the POTUS
But, I'm not willing to hand the Republicans the election by sabotaging a D in the primaries.
My hope is that this can get hashed out behind the scenes and we don't do what the TP'ers have done.
There is plenty of time for this to be handled and I'm happy to have Senator Warren where she is and causing the stir she is causing until we are much closer to the season.

The "Hillary camp" needs to recognize there's a new sheriff in town, her name is Elizabeth.

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

Oh, I don't feel I have a complete grasp on her positions across the board at all.

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