She's part of the Democratic Socialist part of the party and their policies are definitely not mainstream within the party as a whole.

- RIMR 6y agoThis is correct. The Democratic party has no interest whatsoever in helping people.
- sidlls 6y agoShe talks the talk, but I haven't seen much walking the walk yet out of her or any of the justice democrats, really. Time will tell on that point. If I were a betting man I'd put money on them becoming shepherds for the veal pen.
- iamdbtoo 6y agoI never understand what people mean by this. Are you following all of her work? What exactly are you expecting? She's done quite a bit of work, but as you can expect, trying to implement policies you really believe in that aren't popular with the population on the whole is an incredibly difficult task.
- sidlls 6y agoYes, I follow her words and actions that are publicly available, as I do many politicians who might be an ally to my agenda. I take issue with the level of effort behind what she’s “tried,” and I’m not sure she’s had enough time to do enough anyway. But I’m skeptical she will make much headway, and based on the way Obama’s administration effectively sidelined anything to the left of his Big Corp friendly policies I don’t think that’s an unreasonable skepticism.
- iamdbtoo 6y ago> She talks the talk, but I haven't seen much walking the walk That's not skepticism. You've already made up your mind.
