Lol let’s be real. Bernie isn’t the only hope for working class power and movement politics, but Elizabeth Warren’s Teach For America-flavored campaign is where working class power and movement politics go to curl up and diehttps://twitter.com/HeerJeet/status/1175835561233399809 …

Sure but this is a borderline accelerationist argument (especially in LBJ’s case). The point is that thriving on the outside is one thing, gaining direct access to power is another. To survivor the coming decade, the left will need both.

LBJ’s presidency saw some left Triumphs, but came at a high cost. Do we really want to repeat the mistakes of the past? We can have a better kind of President

look, I wouldn't have been a Seward-or-spoil (?) delegate at Chicago in 1860, either. It's contextual. But I do think the shape of left politics in this moment makes the Sanders/Warren choice a very significant one -- I'm trying to write about it in a longer piece next week

Will read the piece with interest. I think the issue is "who is Warren?" She's not a democratic socialist like Sanders but she's not really part of the Clinton-Obama-Biden gestalt either. I feel like Warren's critics haven't quite located her accurately yet.

FDR went and challenged his own party across the country, Warren is not going to do that, in the midterms she was giving a spirited defense of Joe Manchin

Yes, FDR was the balanced-budget candidate. That was pretty much his calling card. Elizabeth Warren is Karl Marx compared to him at the same stage.
