But is what they say true? Does Warren have unrealistic aspirations? More, does she talk too much for her own good?
Short answer: No.
Long answer: Of course not! We would never overcome our weaknesses if they could not be discussed.
So, what's the problem in politics today?
Our problem seems to be that we're largely uninformed (despite our level of access to communications) and determined to stay that way.
There's a lot of talk about what our Democratic candidates should be saying, and not saying, in order to win the top seat of the once-optimistic republic.
Although most society does demand a form of status quo in conversation, it's disheartening to experience such stolid resistance to talk of liberalism and financial freedom in our United States.
As we approach one of our most critical presidential elections in 2020, apprehension is rising in the wake of what many regard to be a fabric-damaging dictatorial leadership. But is it anything like the feel of 2015, when many had (uninformed) hope of another Democratic president?
Well, no. We weren't really apprehensive at that point. Rather, we were certain that things could not go the way that they went.
"Since 2016, Republicans generally have consolidated behind the president."
The temptation today is the same. Surely, after everything we've witnessed, there is no way a presidential reelection could take place in 2020. But if the article linked above is any indication of the pulse of the populace, then we already know the result will be another moral disappointment.
So, what's the problem with an open dialogue among the people, and especially among those with wherewithal to enter into the race with the incumbent so reviled?
We hear so much about the supposed mistake of talking, or talking wrongly. Heck, even the Democratic frontrunners want Warren to shut up.
Democrats will never win if they don't shut up.
Warren will never win, she talks too much.Recent Democratic debates have propelled her to front-runner status, much thanks to her continually developing trademark resolve. Yet, Republicans would never relent and Warren's fellows show little sign of support.
Does Bernie talk too much? (Of course not; he is "unfiltered" and "brave".) However:
Bernie needs to "change himself", before he can win. (He needn't shut up, but open up.)Whatever they're doing, Warren and Sanders aren't doing it right (in their respective sexist-regarded ways).
Sure, back in January Warren was brave. But in the autumn prior to election year, she is unrealistic and risky to the interests of the Democratic Party—such as it is today, almost unrecognizable in its lack of commitment to economic ideations as compared to itself under Roosevelt, Truman or Kennedy.
Discussion of issues that plague the success of our nation has become increasingly taboo, it seems, in politics. But we should consider ourselves:
If those most fortunate among us cannot stand up for us, then don't we stand (or sit, as it would be) to lose every fight for egalitarian access to life's essentials?
