45. Trying to cast every mainstream liberal Democrat as "Third Way" or "neo-liberal" is what's wrong.

If only such a critical eye was directed on the party's detractors. But, of course your own biases prevent that.

And the OP never implies Warren would be a problem - far from it. I only show that the party's "liberal" critics who currently support her wouldn't after she was confronted with the realities of governing, and after she successfully made some hard decisions. Obviously your reading comprehension skills are lacking.
