About these infernal Hillary versus Liz kerfluffles-- [View all]
I've been flying a Warren banner around here for some time. And ya know what?
For me, at the most fundamental level, it's not about Warren. Nor about Hillary. It's not about personalities at all.
It's about the progressive versus the corporate side of the party. Liz Warren may even not turn out to be the best representative of my style of progressive populism.
Right now, though, she's the one standing up to the bankers; she's the one speaking out for an expansion of Social Security. She seems to better express my views, and in particular my views on economic policy, at this point than anyone else on the national scene.
Right now, her name symbolizes those views. It's sort of like a shorthand. If she doesn't run, and someone else comes along, espouses true liberal principles and appears electable, I'll get off the Warren wagon in an instant to support that person. Just right now, though, I don't see who that person might be. I don't think it's Biden.
