[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Warren didn't get the nomination for many of the same reasons that Bernie didn't. Her views are way to the left of the median Democratic voter. Many people think Democrats are wild leftists because many of the biggest and loudest activist groups are leftists. But the actual coalition of voters is pretty moderate, so you get nominees like Biden, Clinton and Obama instead of ones like Bernie, Kucinich, and Warren.[/quote] She is not really further to the left than Biden. Again, fascinating that you think so![/quote] Yes, she was much further left. As just a few examples, Warren campaigned on: free college (at least under certain income limits), eliminating student debt, banning fracking, Medicare for All, federal government manufacturing prescription drugs, eliminating any criminal penalties for illegal immigration, huge cuts to defense spending, eliminating the distinction between capital gains and ordinary income, and creating a wealth tax. Biden either didn't support these proposals, or had very scaled back versions of them. For example, he wanted two years of free community college instead of free 4-year college, and wanted to raise the capital gains rate only for those making over $1M.[/quote]
