Agree, Or Disagree...

[WillyT]

Warren’s brand of populism is ascendant in the Democratic Party: She is articulating a coherent, interlocking set of ideas focused on the economic prospects of the middle class, and a broader critique that explains how and why the economy got to this point, with more passion and specificity than anyone else.

I think it's the best description of her I've seen. She is so thoughtful and so detailed.

[ManiacJoe]

2. Clarification might be needed.

Are you asking if we agree with the quote describing Warren's speeches, or are you asking if we agree with Warren's politics?

[babylonsister]

3. Hmmm.

[BrotherIvan]

4. But she is not now, currently, running!

[WillyT]

6. The OP Said Nothing About Her Running...

Why do you ask ???

[BrotherIvan]

8. It's my standard answer to people who say she isn't running {sic}

Apparently the joke fell flat.

[WillyT]

10. No... I Got It... Liked It In Fact...

Many curious reactions to the other thread mentoned in the OP...

I've been told over and over again, that there is NO disunity in the Democratic Party.

I consider that whistling past the graveyard.

YOU... my friend... I love.

[BrotherIvan]

11. Cheers to you!

If she wants to run, I will be one of those pounding the pavement. She has a message and a vision and I think she's sincere. The idea that someone that talented and intelligent should be held back is frankly sexist. As those same people are ardent supporters of a junior Senator who ran in his first term, I'm a little shocked and angry about it. But more than anything, she is the person of the moment who may help the US turn back from its downward slide. If she doesn't run, I look forward to watching her bust some ass. It's her choice to make.

[WillyT]

12. WORD !!!

[sheshe2]

9. This maybe???

5. With your link, I won't vote.

I am sick and tired of people not listening to Warren. She knows her strengths and where she can do the most damage to the banks and the GOP. She knows how she can help the middle class and that is from her Senate seat. She will be our next Teddy. Why no one understands that is beyond me. She is so damned focused and she is going to pick and chose every damn fight with a determined vision. It's not surprising that the GOP did not want her as head of the consumer protection agency. They are appalled that she became our senior senator. They fear her and want her out of there.

[2naSalit]

18. I agree

she knows where she performs best and she's there. I also agree that her placement in Ted 's former seat is not lost on her for a moment. And furthermore, she is also a teacher, I can see her using her skills from that profession in rallying the rest of her party. In that capacity, I am glad she's there and totally on top of the game that she knows is rigged until someone like her encourages agreement for actual change for the middle class... a change for the better. That's her stated mission and I am convinced she's not changing course on that.

[sheshe2]

20. Thank you 2naSalit!

I met her at a small gathering. Damn she is so focused. I love that woman and she will do MA and the country proud from her seat as Senior Senator from Massachusetts, yes Teddies old seat.

She is going to rock us.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. I agree about Warren. Every word you said about her is the truth! n/t

[sheshe2]

27. Thank you Peggy.

Yes it is the truth. It bothers me so many want her off the job that we in Massachusetts fought so hard for her to get. Scott Brown fought an ugly campaign against her. There was a lot of money in there for her to lose the election.

She won and the GOP hates her guts and do indeed fear her.

I met her Peggy. She is awesome and so wants to be the great Senator she will become. She has Teddies seat, he is smiling down on her as we speak.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

29. I know Teddy is smiling down on her. She is his worthy successor.

And I'm thrilled the GOP hates and fears her. That makes her effective!

[sheshe2]

30. Yes indeed!!!!

[uponit7771]

36. This seem so FUDish to me... why are they pushing her like this, she's already stated what she

...wanted to state

[cwydro]

7. Huh?

[i]Warren’s brand of populism is ascendant in the Democratic Party: She is articulating a coherent, interlocking set of ideas focused on the economic prospects of the middle class, and a broader critique that explains how and why the economy got to this point, with more passion and specificity than anyone else.

Explain this to me and maybe I will vote in your poll.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

13. This really doesn't work for me unless you add Hillary in for balance.

[RoccoR5955]

16. Sorry, but...

It is my thought that Hillary is more of a corporatist than Warren, so to say we need Hillary to balance the already unbalanced system which favors corporations, says to me that one might want more corporate control, when it is quite apparent that we need less.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

21. .

[sabrina 1]

14. Agree ...

[Thespian2]

15. Easy

to agree with the truth. Progressives now need to start finding real candidates to run against the corporate Dems and put them where they belong...out of government on local, state, and national levels.

[zeemike]

17. Agree (but I wear my prejudice on my sig line)

But kicking in the door to the Third Way Party will not be easy...many tricks are up their sleeve, not just the inevitability of Hillary, and the she-is-not-running.

[hedda_foil]

19. You betcha I agree!

[H2O Man]

22. Agree.

[brooklynite]

23. Saying that Warren's view is ascendant is somewhat presumptuous...

...it's competitive, but we'll have to see how the next election turns out.

[Ramses]

24. I passed in your poll

I would like to see Sanders in.

[longship]

26. Agree or disagree.

All things are a dichotomy?

Yes.

No.

Check your choice.

(Sorry, WlliyT.)

[Luminous Animal]

28. I'd love to see Sanders and Warren interviewed, together, on Democracy Now!

[Ykcutnek]

31. I feel she understands the plight of the average American more than most. nt

[joshcryer]

32. Patently absurd.

I don't trust demagogues. I trust people who introduce legislation and fight hard for it.

[WillyT]

35. Agreed, But... THAT Is Called Governing... Before You Can Do That... You Have To Do Politicking...

Ask Abe Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JFK, even Barack Obama...

ALL very good at politicking.

The governing tends to speak for itself.

[pampango]

33. Her understanding of and policies to deal with the economic problems of our middle class are great.

So I agree.

Her understanding of and policies to deal with foreign policy issues will need to be clarified if she is to run for the presidential nomination.

[Recursion]

34. I still dislike the word "populism". Too much baggage (nt).

[aikoaiko]

37. Maybe.

I see pretty much the same number of people now who were excited about her two years ago. They talk about her more, but I'm not sure the Warren movement is growing.

She is consistent and I like what she says because of her discussion of the economy and solutions to problems.

[Johonny]

38. I don't know, I hope it is

Sanders and Warren would be popular if the party gave them more of a national stage. The media showed every second of Ted Cruz's meltdown in Washington, but showed Bernie Sanders for a 30 second clip. So I'm not sure how well known they are outside the politically minded people. For populism to take hold it has to come from Obama, Reid and the party's leaders. If they want to win in 2016 then it should be their message.
