Don't worry, the left wingers don't like her too much either. No threat.
She wants all sorts of pie in the sky dreams but yet she ignores down to earth needs.
Massachusetts has disgusting housing for the deserving elderly, for instance, and you never hear her talk about that. Never hear her talk about the workers or the middle class. It's all for illegals.
And reparations for things that happened in the past? Things happen. They were wrong but we've all been wronged in one way or another. Why encourage people to feel like victims when you should be encouraging them to get out and make a way for themselves in the world?
I could go back and ask for reparations for things that were done to my ancestors--ask for a handout. But that's stupid. What happened is in the past and it's up to me to move forward. Turning people into victims further divides us too.
And Trump's wall. We need much more than a wall. Many other ways of stopping illegals--visa overstays, more border guards, electronics and drones. But Warren caters to illegals not Americans. So don't worry, most of the Dems don't like her either. Not a threat.

We both generally agree, but you are incorrect on the bolded points. I've known about Warren for almost 20 years now, and she's always been a champion of the middle class/working class and has always been for policing Wall Street
"During her town hall, Warren also voiced support for reparations and said she would back the creation of a panel “to examine slavery and discrimination in the colonies and the United States from 1619 to the present and recommend appropriate remedies.”
Psst talk to Great Britain for 1619 to 1776. Good luck.

I walk fairly middle of the road (by topic) and this "reparations" business shot me out of bed like a rocket when I heard it replayed on the news yesterday morning. Surely there are larger grassroots issues looming (such as what you mentioned, senior housing or something that bothers me - mental health care) than digging up more issues to create yet another handout community.
Warren is way down in the polls relative to the top 4 or 5 democrat contenders. she is throwing out her policies every few days hoping to get some press and it hasn't worked. Beto, Bernie, kamala, non-candidate (so far) biden, and a couple of others are ahead of her in the polls. Early polling to be sure, but warren hasn't raised much groundswell of support for her candidacy.
