      If the Dems become more of a worker's party & the GOP continue in a Trumpist direction, the professional-managerial class will become politically homeless, maybe for the first time since 1900.

      I don't take the Jacobin line on this -- I think the Dems are as likely to head in a workerist direction under Warren as Sanders (the salient differences between two candidates are on other issues).

      Warren is the quintessential “professional/managerial class” candidate though

      But also has real working class roots. Part of what makes her a good candidate is she can bridge divide between two big factions of party.

          She cant bridge a divide between two big factions of a party because she's decidedly enmeshed in the centrist/traditional one with her votes for Trumps defense hikes, her anti-Palestinian/AIPAC friendly views, and movement from M4A...and the progressive faction is aware of that

          And her Oklahoma upbringing is no more "working class roots" than Bill Clinton's Arkansas roots or Nixon's dustbowl California one. It was just the one she quickly left to be a "solid" Republican until 47 and a "capitalist to her bones" taking money from big donors/corporations

          In theory you’re correct. In practice it’s not happening among primary voters right now. Working class African American voters are gravitating to Biden. Warren’s donor base is the professional/managerial class. She is the Ted Kennedy/Gary Hart/Paul Tsongas of this cycle

          I donate $10 every two weeks to Warren and have since she announced. I'm not the PMC. Not even close. You have no evidence of your specious claim.

          But she’s definitely turned into a Harvardian now. I think she’s somewhat of a wildcard at this point.

          what are working class "roots." Is that like when you give your brother a loan at 9.5% interest so he can buy a foreclosed house in Oklahoma City and sell it

          she really doesn't tho, whatever working class roots may have been there are buried under decades of Harvard no voter in America will consider Warren to be working class, absolutely none
