(135,425 posts)BIG TENT means BIG TENT. ALL sides, ALL voices. From Warren to Tester and everyone in between, with all their "all politics is local" issues and concerns.
And I think it's awfully funny how you have this idea that Elizabeth Warren wasn't elected with some of that (progressive) Big Money. She didn't pass the hat at local Bay State functions. Her campaigned was fueled with massive sums of cash from some people who might be regarded as politically impure.
It's never a good idea to get all insular and "fuck THOSE guys" from within a party system. It's a swell way to Divide and Conquer. All it does is aid the GOP.
I think Warren's not going to jump on that train. She's not "selling out," she's helping the party grow. She gets that the worst Democrat is better than the best Republican.
Pity more here can't see that, but whatchagonnado?
