Warren is forcing candidates to accept that they cannot win without the Left. Warren was a huge supporter of OWS. They helped her win the Senate seat she now occupies.

The Third Way attacks on Warren BACKFIRED. Now they have to accept the reality that the Left is needed in order to win and if the Dem candidate does not embrace the Left, they cannot win. Thank YOU OWS and Warren who was a champion of that Movement.

Thank you OWS, even those heavily funded by Wall St, know they cannot win without the support of the Left. Much as they wish it were otherwise.

Warren will support the Dem, she is a member of the Dem Party. What she does not support is the Third Way politics that Clinton espouses. However if Warren and OWS and the Left can influence Clinton, that is a good thing. But is AFTER the election that we will see whether or not any of what is said now really matters.

Meantime the Left is focusing on Congress and the Senate. We are not listening to the words they say, we are looking at what they DO.
