Elizabeth Warren, who has been a champion of financial reforms - specifically to assist in helping the middle and lower classes - is a proponent of wealth taxes.
That means a lot more to me than your grumpy, politically charged anecdote.
- nodesocket 10mo agoI'm not sure using Elizabeth Warren as a measuring stick of sound political policy is sane.
- sedawkgrep 10mo agoshrug Well, between you and her, I'll take the senator, former Harvard Law professor, and architect of the CFPB.
- potato3732842 10mo agoThat's not the endorsement you think it is. Quite the opposite really. Warren was "cool" 10+yr ago when she was a fairly niche issue academic on the fringes of federal politics. Obama should have made her head of the CFPB as that was here whole thing. Instead she sold her soul to the DNC and became a useless unremarkable senator who just spews whatever party line drivel the consultants say the median voter is receptive to that day. This would be excusable if she was just another crap politician but based on her prior work she's clearly capable of better.
- m-hodges 10mo agoIt’s always funny when people reveal that they don’t know what the DNC is or does.

They are the ones who establish the official baseline platform for the party. Calling them out specifically vs just the party is basically like calling out a local board vs the entire municipal government.
