Yes, you absolutely can. I keep seeing this idea spread by extreme Bernie supporters, as if the money is literally dirty. The entire way money and corruption works is that the money buys access which leads to influence. If you take the money and don’t provide access or influence, there’s no corruption. It’s like saying taxing the wealthy is inherently corrupt because you’re confiscating and utilizing their dirty money. So unless you can point to where Elizabeth Warren has been providing access and influence to wealthy donors, these charges are totally baseless. Should Bernie become the nominee, there will be many wealthy donors who will contribute to him directly or indirectly through Democratic fundraising. That doesn’t mean he would be compromised.
The way I see it; Bernie is the big home run swing that's trying to make things work from a completely outside the box approach that's unproven. Warren is how you hedge your bets, which is to say she's about as far left as you can go before the donor class and media completely turn against you (ie: what's happened to Bernie). Plus I'm not even certain that last bit is true if Bernie weren't in the race. As a pretty heavy lefty, I think we need both in the race for either to succeed but that's speculative at best.

Yang above Kamala
Even with a 5 point margin of error and even though its Emerson, that's terrible for Kamala.
