In reply to the discussion: Schumer, Warren locked in battle over future of Democratic Party [View all]Bluetus
(3,361 posts)34. "Clear ideas" indeed. It is not about philosophy. It is about clarity
specifics, and commitment. Basically, the self-proclaimed "centerists" (a gross misnomer) give lip service to the same issues progressives fight for. But too often, it is just lip service. Nobody believes they will be there at the moment of truth.
We aren't promoting "progressives", "socialists", "liberals", "communists" or any other inflammatory label these "centerists"want to use. We are promoting fighters. The difference between the progressives and the "centerists" is not philosophy. It is willingness to present real, specific, bold ideas and then fight like hell for them.
God bless Elizabeth and the others engaged in this fight for a future we can be proud of.

I'd pick Elizabeth Warren for any office she wants to run in. She's my favorite by far.

IMHO the article title is over-stated, over-simplified, and another example of MSM just wanting a horserace

I do agree that it's time for the Democratic Party to have fresh leadership in the Senate.

We need someone new, a new person with fresh new ideas. I prefer a woman but will take a man.
