11. All our candidates that have declared up to this point are centrists ideologically

this is just a case of Republicans telling Dems who to vote for again. They just can't figure out whether to sh*t or go blind right now. Their white maleness is threatened by Harris even though politically she may be the most 'moderate' of the group...don't count on any calls from her to reform the criminal justice system or abolish private prisons anytime soon. Their scrotums just shrink anytime they think of her haranguing them in the Senate. Their wallets and superPACS are threatened by Warren, but it's not like calling for restablishment of Glass-Steagall and preventing banks from gambling with your deposits is Marxist or anything. Ironically Klobuchar may be the most progressive all across the board of these three. They may get what they asked for, but not what they wanted. IMO, a female Al Franken they really do not want to see...and I see a lot of the same traits in her I see in Franken.
