We stand to benefit greatly from ideological-purity - Reddit / Way Of The BernThank you Elizabeth Warren, you're the reason Bernie's base is now majority-minority working class!
If many of you have noticed that your wealthier often whiter friends who supported Bernie in the 2016 primary now vehemetly support Warren, this is not an isolated phenomena. Warren's base is 70% white and consists largely of professional-class gentrifiers who hold a strong presence in the DNC establishment. Have no fear, Bernie's base is over an order of magnitude greater than this time in the '16 primary and consists of a diverse working class coalition not seen in US politics since the Great Depression. Warren's candidacy has hence functioned as an effective purge of petit-bourgeois "progressives" who have no place in Bernie's support base anyways! We're on average more left because of this shift, and stand to benefit greatly from the ideological purity that it affords. So thank you Elizabeth Warren, for ridding us of the liberals bottle-necking our new party's radical agenda!

(10,828 posts)So, Elizabeth Warren attracting former Bernie supporters is a good thing, all in the name of purity???
Looking at recent polls, that's some twisted logic.

50% of 100,000 people are 50,000, whereas 70% of only 10,000 people is a mere 7,000.

And then, its all a question of who turns out to vote.

(58,785 posts)Seldom think to. Biden and Sanders reportedly lead, but Latinx average relatively conservative as a demo, so no big surprise. 73% said in a poll of registered voters this month that they intend to vote Democratic, though. Fewer voted in the past than didn't, though. 32 million potential votes if they finally decide to make their power felt.
