Warren isn't exactly mainstream government.
She can't even get her "progressive" credentials consistent as she rarely misses an opportunity to be the hawk. She sure loves those foreign wars.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoThey aren’t making a whole lot of new conservatives in America. Centrist Democrats are either aging out or getting pushed out. Change takes time. Gotta defend against people like Bezos in the meantime ($187B? and still throwing a childish fit about your workers trying to have better working conditions? Really?).
- busterarm 6y agoNone of that makes Warren above criticism. And if you think America isn't minting a lot of new conservatives, I think you've been sleeping the last 6 years. Conservatives just had the biggest voter turnout that they've had since Ronald Reagan. And despite our Gen X/Millenial social circles which are heavily left, Zoomers are much more conservative than us.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoYou were attacking and criticizing Warren (not I, as I focused on parties driven by ideas and moors), which doesn’t concern me and has little value regardless unless you vote in her state. The greater issue is what happens when speaking truth to power garners contempt and harm instead of cooperation and humility. Enter regulation, stage right.
- busterarm 6y agoWould you not say that Amazon's critical tweet of Warren was speaking truth to power?
- toomuchtodo 6y agoYes, I think Warren made a mistake by saying what she did. Her misspeaking doesn’t negate the arguments against Amazon and how it treats its workers.
