    Maybe finally people will start getting it in their heads that the current Democratic party - aside from the obvious outliers, Bernie, AOC, Warren etc - is not acting in their best interests…

      I really don’t understand why Warren keeps being put in the company of Bernie or AOC.

      Bernie and AOC are leftists (center left), and Warren is firmly center right at best.

        I really don’t understand why Warren keeps being put in the company of Bernie or AOC.

        For the same reason Corporate Dems kept screaming “Biden is the most progressive candidate since FDR!” at any left-liberal who would give them the time of day. She’s not a serious politician. She’s a fence post. This is how far the party is allowed to go and absolutely no further.

        You put Warren in with Bernie and AOC today. Then, when we get another Hillary or a Buttigieg or whatever on the ticket in 2028, you can tell progressives “See? Warren is being reasonable and joining with the very popular center of the party. They have progressive cred. Idk wtf Bernie and AOC are on anymore. They’ve clearly gone off the deep end. Besides, Bernie is a misogynist and I think I heard AOC is part Chinese. And don’t even think about voting for the Green Party. They’re all a bunch of KGB-infiltrated Russians.”

          I sincerely hope that by “part Chinese” you mean sympathetic towards the CCP and it’s a very poor choice of words

          I’m interested in seeing evidence of these points

        You know what, you’re right. I only mentioned her because of that right to repair thing she promoted. To be honest I always thought that the right thing to do would be for her to just endorse Bernie in a united front against Hilary instead of splitting the vote and capitalizing on those sexists who wanted to vote for a woman instead of an old white man.
