I like Warren a lot but her policies have no more chance of passing a Republican Senate than Bernie's do. I would be happy with either one winning the nomination but let's not pretend that he's some dreamer idealist with crazy policies and she's has much more reasonable policies with a greater chance of passing in Congress. The fact is the two of them cosponsor most of the policies that the other comes up with. This isn't Bernie and Hillary, where people pretended that they agreed on most things when they were actually very different. These are two very similar candidates with very similar goals. Let's try not to tear down either one in trying to support the other.

I will cast zero aspersions Bernie's way fam, that's my guy. I'm going dollar for dollar on my donations to both so far. I'm honestly curious as to what would happen if Warren dropped out because it's pretty obvious to me that the closest platform to Warren's will be Bernie's out of the rest of the field.
On that first note, I think it's realistic to say the Republican Senate will be obstructing ANY Democrat that could win. They did it to Obama and I don't think it's too bold to predict that the serious candidates to come out of this field will all have platforms to his left. I think it's necessary as hell to pair presidential discussions with the fact that they'll be hamstrung unless we're fighting HARD for Congress as well (and I've got some ideas for the Supreme Court too..not my own Vanderbilt Law's).

The full quote is flames too. I wonder if Biden jumping in will end up boosting her because it'll call attention to that battle. I want her to jump into double digits pre-debates so damned bad.
Simple: Warren is gung ho on getting rid of the filibuster, Sanders is non-committal.
Bernie. Offers. No. Details.
Thats the problem.
Warren is like the person who just does the group project for everyone else.

Biden is going to get murked in the debates by the field led by Liz. Though I think Bernie isn't going to go after Joe that much.

Details...
Read Bernie Sanders’s 2019 Medicare-for-all plan
Bloomberg - Are you a robot?
And while he hasn't set a specific payment structure he did drop this last time around for how to pay for his plans...

So if you want to know the details to explain why Warren supports Bernie's ideas and vice versa, you can start by checking out some of this.

You're lying about him not having details, Warren's plan is better off the expanded Pell Grants. The rest of the details run pretty damned similar right up to the tax ideas that would fund it. You're gaslighting...read instead.
Bruh.
She's got ANOTHER plan

She can release a tape every week because there’s so real shyt happening every day up in the projects.
This country needs to be rebuilt from the ground up. I remember working for ACORN and going to a portion of North PHILADELPHIA that I did not knew existed. The blocks looked like it could stand in as a bomber out Beirut in a movie.
I also remember meeting a 70 year old pensioner. She donated $20 a month to the organization. And I also remember feeling sick to my stomach that I was taking this old lady’s money to fight for her.
