      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 …

      I don't think it's very Marxist to pin the entire hopes of working class power on the political prospect of one (admittedly admirable) 78-year old man.

      Genuine left mass movements can thrive in periods of presidents that aren't from the left. FDR was an upper class dilettante who preached deficit cutting, JFK an upper class dilettante Cold Warrior, LBJ a redneck FDR-wannabe.

      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.

          An opportunist, not in the pejorative sense, who sees voters moving leftward and skilfully rides the wave.

          she was clearly left of the clinton/obama consensus as she made her way onto the national stage during the Obama administration. Bernie is better but I would not call her a opportunist even in the non pejorative sense.

          I think she’s just a pre-War liberal who thinks that all the system needs is a few fixes and the d*mb masses can go home while the experts run the country

          She’s hard to locate cause she has changed her politics over time. Part of Bernie’s appeal is consistency. I appreciate the back and forth b/w you two on this and am also looking forward to the piece from @karpmj. Hope that Jeet shares his thoughts on it after reading.

          She is no FDR Democrat: She does not actually have Medicare-4-all as her policy; she voted for all of Trumps defense budget hikes, crippling possible domestic program hikes, shes not forgiving all college debt, and doesnt support federal rent control. She's "aw shucks' Hillary

          Her entire 2019 rise is basically the most dramatic rebuttal of that silly critique imaginable.
