Re: What benefits does Warren have over Sanders?

(Anonymous) 2019-07-04 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
I think a lot of it is just a difference of emphasis. Warren seems much better when it comes to the details of actually using the machinery of the American state to accomplish policy ends, and the details of how to do that and what specific changes to make to accomplish what ends. That's not to say that Bernie doesn't have policy, but I think he tends to operate in terms of broad policy values that he wants to accomplish with a political revolution. For me personally, I think the policy-oriented approach is probably more useful.

I also wouldn't describe Warren as "cozy" with the corporate side of the Democratic Party by any stretch of the imagination. Did you see her comment when Biden entered the race, for Pete's sake? She has a different emphasis than Bernie, but that's not the same thing as being "cozy" with corporate America.

Furthermore, pragmatically, I think that Warren has a chance to win the primary, and I don't think Bernie does. And I am also a little uncomfortable with the extent to which Bernie has been running an actively sectional campaign. I don't deny that the Democratic party does need significant reforms, and that the instinctive centrism of the party technocrats is an absolute dead end, and I think Warren certainly gets outside of the paradigm. But I don't think that needs to turn into factionalism, and Bernie really seems to have leaned into that to a fault.

Anyway, that's how I feel about it.
