Warren’s 2020 agenda: Break up monopolies, give workers control over corporations, fight drug companies

Well, she’s definitely ramping up her “campaign.”

Her words are the things we here all support.  I did once adore Warren and oft times I forget how swell she is.

How does on overlook her support of Hillary?  Particularly when Bernie was a viable choice!!

How does one reconcile Warren’s silence over the pipeline abuse and rape of our beloved mother Earth.   For me she must answer these questions.

unless those lucky worker are just going to pull the same bloated salaries as other board members.  There is not anything listed that, IMO, US corporations could not maneuver around while drinking champagne.  Reminds me of the DNC keeping super-delegates for the second round – let the manipulation begin.

Fundamentally, capitalism is incompatible with climate change.  Without a complete restructuring of economic paradigms, climate change cannot be successfully addressed.

Why?  Simple.  70% of all CO2 is emitted by the wealthiest 20% of world citizens.  And of that 70%, fully 50% is emitted by the wealthiest 10%.  That includes most citizens from Europe, Japan, Australia, Parts of China and most importantly America.  In other words, without drastic changes to address carbon consumption and CO2 emissions, the problem will simply be kicked down the road.

What Warren is proposing is a progressive agenda rooted in a carbon-based society from the 1970s.  A fine pipe dream from a bygone ear of 40 years ago.  What is needed are taxes that level the carbon consumption playing field.  This means reducing uber wealth to the level of average citizens within Europe, Japan, Australia, Parts of China and America.  And those taxes extracted from the top would then pay for structural changes to western industrial societies necessary to go zero carbon emissions in twenty years or less.

Continuing with the fundamental structures of capitalism tweaked to meet political agendas just won’t do.  Why?  Simple.  If wealth is left in place, the uber rich will simply pay more for energy while maintaining their destructive carbon consumption and CO2 emissions habits.  And since the uber rich are the worst emitters this simply won’t do if climate change is to be tackled.  So, Senator Warren, nice try but not good enough.

Bernie is my choice, but I would vote for Senator Warren in a heartbeat to get Mr. Corrupt Scary Crazy out of the WH.

I can only wish that were true. I remember voting for a black guy that won a NOBEL who claimed to stand by the workers wearing a soft shoe and all he did were endless wars and helping the banksters plunder. No THANKS

It would not surprise me if she were in cahoots with Shrill Hill

to derail Sanders and pave the way for major Hillary cheating.

She screwed us once. No more.

even though she has Native American blood running through her veins…not a effing peep from her during the brutalization of her brothers and sisters.

Also…

On September 18, Elizabeth Warren, the much beloved poster child of the “progressive” wing of the Democratic Party, voted for a bill that authorizes $700 billion in defense funds.

She’s no Progressive and she sure as Hades won’t get my vote…ever.

in the ocean!

The time is past for mere milquetoast mumbling!

She would certainly be better than Biden, Harris, Booker, Clinton, and their ilk but I don’t see her as a progressive torch bearer.  Still, I like some of what she’s saying and I’m glad she’s out there saying it.  The more we talk about things like a $15 minimum wage and other progressive causes, the more mainstream those ideas become.

informed about the people theyre voting on, and know how to use those people to get their own demands met — which most ordinary workers at corporations don’t know how to do — there’s so many ways for management to game this.

We can’t change 40 years of Oligarchy political dominance overnight and what Warren proposes is DRASTIC compared to what the Clinton wing of the Democratic Party would  deem acceptable.

We have to be politically realistic. We have to do what is politically viable. Short of armed insurrection, we are not going to get revolutionary changes overnight, and indeed, with respect to the current political power of the oligarchy, Warrens proposals are almost revolutionary.

To be collectively viable at a national level, we have to accept victories when they occur and celebrate whenever we can move the needle back toward representative politics. Wisely pick and chose our battles. We have to think of incremental changes, real changes, over decades, and I’m not talking about Hillary’s or Pelosi’s interpretation of fake incrementalism (kabuki theatre). This is the same method that the oligarchs used to destroy the New Deal, and we can see that a few victories can snowball over time, with changes accelerating with each election cycle of political dominance. Further, it is going to take a coalition within a majority of voters to get real changes and we can be easily written off as far too radical by demanding no less than the moon in a single election cycle.

It took years to get us here. We can’t undo decades of assault on FDR’s vision overnight. It is going to take years to get us back to FDR’s vision. This is political reality.

What are Warren’s Western Hemisphere and Eastern Hemisphere Policies?  Progressives are against regime change wars and for spending our money in our country to help our citizens.  The procedure for sending billions of dollars to Israel needs to stop.
