What Happens When Elizabeth Warren Sells Out to Powerful Interests?

16. The article lies by implication and

lies by false comparison.

Warren co-authored a bill meant to punish big pharma for misuse of government funds. The monies gained are intended to go to medical research.
The article claims she is selling out because medical device makers aren't included in this. But there are many groups that misuse government funds. Should we condemn Warren for not including all those groups as well?

In the second part of the article the authors claim charter schools are an unalloyed success. Are they? Not nationally they're not. Charter schools when they are not an outright scam https://www.phillymag.com/news/2016/08/22/john-oliver-philly-charter-schools-last-week-tonight/ on average do not out preform public schools. Where they do succeed it is often because they can cherry pick the students they accept.
Clearly there are true believers in charter schools but Warren is not one of them.

Finally the article repeats the canard that Warren is not comfortable talking on issues outside her field.

"For better and for worse, she is a moralist. This allows her to communicate sometimes complex issues in simple and clear terms, and thus to bring public pressure to bear on issues that are usually confined to smoke-filled rooms. But it also leaves her lacking in a language to explain the issues where she doesn’t have a clear people-versus-the-powerful frame."

If the last year has shown anything it is that Warren is able to speak on a variety of subject at depth.
