Because none of her policies have actually gone anywhere. I appreciate she shows up to vote for other policy and can be a part of a broader coalition, but she has not proven to me she is able to actually push her own legislation and build a viable coalition to get things passed. When I vote for a candidate I look for two things. Their policy positions align with my own, and they have the ability to move policy. She, so far, ticks just one of those boxes. She’s also young and can very well figure it out over time.

Centrist Democrats outnumber progressives in congress, and caucus with Republicans on progressive issues.
This reads less like criticism from someone who agrees with her and more like gloating from someone who doesn’t.
