    Elizabeth Warren has been terrible at her job but successful at poisoning progressive movements in the US. She worked for banks before becoming a senator and was deeply involved in undercutting Bernie Sanders’ support in 2016. Don’t believe a word she says because it is literally there to cloud the truth.

      I don’t think this is true. What do you mean by “deeply involved”? Just that she didn’t endorse him, or something else?

    The Republicans (and half the Dems) response:

    And in usual fashion they’ll pull the fact that we’re all hostage to the stock market: "We need to stand up for working people and hold giant companies responsible for decisions that hurt workers and consumers while lining shareholders’ pockets.”

    Republicans: Comrade Warren wants to ruin your 401k! She wants you to be poor at retirement!!

    I feel like it’s no coincidence for her to introduce this when Republicans gave full control (yeah, I know, not technically yet) of congress, and it will never have a chance of going anywhere.

    She’s not a serious person. This is theater (a comedy routine) to appease the public, everybody in Washington knows Lizzie works for the big banks <cough cough Goldman Sachs>

    lol, useless, just like sanders. want to do something real liz, introduce a bill to hold healthcare insurance ceo’s personally liable for denying medically necessary and professionally ordered medical procedures and prescriptions. that’d be something. but she won’t do that. holding “capitalism” accountable, whatever the fuck that means, means nothing gets done, she risks nothing, we gain nothing.

      but she won’t do that

      Both her and sanders have repeatedly pushed for Medicare for all which would destroy the private health insurance industry.

      holding “capitalism” accountable, whatever the fuck that means

      Did you read the article or just the headline? Because it does have some effective means of disempowering the corporate class.

      The legislation would also mandate that at least 40% of a corporation’s board of directors be chosen directly by employees

      If 40% of the board of united was chosen by employees then they would have some influence in choosing a CEO that won’t fire them and replace them with an ai to reject claims.
