  1. ***** Yes, I agree, Warren can do much more in the Senate and she needs more experience too.

  3. *****  >> What is more important? Sanders being president or Warren being in the senate? That is a false dichotomy. It is important that Sanders gets elected, but that has nothing else to do with any other contingencies. Remember also that Sanders needs Democrats in the Congress to get anything done, and if Warren is not in the Senate her seat may go to a Republican. I am sure Bernie will pick the best available VP, it is not definite that it is Liz Warren. I think the VP is not a good stepping stone office either. Honestly, I think Hillary would be the one for VP. It would unite the party, pay Hillary back for her long hard work, keep Bill and those who like him engaged, and put someone he can trust in a position of power.

  4. nitelite78 >> only a false dichotomy if you think Sanders can win without Warren running with him. I cannot think of anyone except outright anti-semites that would vote for Elizabeth Warren and not for Bernie Sanders, so I don't really see where it would be mandatory to have Warren as VP. Again, VP is kind of a nothing office. I don't even know if Hillary, should she lose the primary, would be interested in being VP, but I think she would make a good one.

  5. JD00720 You are allowing the bad guys to hijack these movements, neoConservatism, neoLiberalism, TEA Party, OWS, etc .... all of them came about because of concerned Americans and they get wiped out by bad actors and smeared. We have to look closer and focus on finding the bad guys because most movements have positivity in them before they are subverted by money and power.

  6. JD00720 I don't like the crowd that signed up for the New American Century neocon movement, but I think they got their mission statement exactly right ... and I am an extreme leftist. What has happened in politics these days is that somehow if you are on the Left you have to be against America, the military, Western Civilization, basically everything that is large-scale. Well, I am not. l I think the world needs a military cop, and the US is the best suited for it. I think the way Western civilization, rule of law, capitalism - AND real socialism gets a foothold in this world is by the West, led by the US, the arsenal of democracy. Yes, these are sad and not lived up to ideals, but compared to the rest of history, we are doing better and constantly improving. It is only in domestic policy and overaggressive military policy that the neocons were wrong. I would also remove that world imperial, but if you like you keep it. It doesn't matter. World history moves in ways that are hard to understand and it looks ugly most of the time. People like to compare the US and Rome, but Rome never had elections. Rome never had laws against slavery, or really much rule of law at all. You have to compare what IS, not what you imagine in your head as perfection.

  7. JD00720 I get you, and I cannot disagree, I think see the arc of improvement that is slow, and if we can get people like Sanders elected the US would behave more responsibly, as would the whole West.

  8. It's a tough call on VP ... getting ahead of ourselves a bit. First, Warren does not have the credentials that Bernie has, and after the Obama fizzle, I think we all have to worry about that.  Let's try to get experienced people who stand for something in office, not the latest flash in the pan. Also, VP is a nothing post.  Warren could be much better used in another post other than VP.  VP's never make it to the Presidential office.  Sitting around for 4 to 8 years is not a good resume for a Presidential candidate in most cases. Finally, what about the "balance" of the ticket, if that matters any longer? I hate to say it, but I think Hillary or Bill would make a good VP candidate.  It would really be Hillary's forte.  She likes to get out there and make a scene, and if something happened to Bernie she is about the most respected other Democrat to take over.  If she'd do it.  For Hillary it would be let down after letdown, but I think the Clintons like and need the limelight so maybe!
