Candidate positives and negatives

[Humanist_Activist]

1. Warren supporter...

Was a Bernie supporter in last election, now a Warren supporter though it is very, very close.

I was a Bernie supporter because I believe strongly in having a strong Social Democracy instituted in this country to give the working class a larger piece of the pie that the capitalists have been taking more of over the years. Social mobility is pretty much gone, wages have been stagnant my entire life(and I'm fucking 41!), and unionization is way down.

I'm a Warren supporter for the same reasons, but also feel that she's more electable because I feel quite a few Bernie supporters, with help from some Clinton supporters, poisoned the well of support for him last time around. Far to much vitriol and irrational hatreds that carries over all over the place. I feel this has hurt his chances at winning the nomination.

So that edges her as top candidate, if only barely.

To be honest, I'm an anti-capitalist Socialist, an actual socialist, not a social Democrat like Bernie or AOC are policy-wise. So any candidate, even Warren, is moderate in my view. In fact, I would say that they should be where the center of the Democratic Party should be. But I also think that Warren(or Sanders) are going to be useful in raising class consciousness to the forefront, something that has been woefully lacking in American politics for a long time. We need an actual labor party in this country for once, not just one that pays lip service to labor when convenient. I hope either candidate becomes a useful tool in this endeavor, even if they fail to get the nomination.
