"We will completely forget Elizabeth Warren." Go a little lighter on the hyperbole, David. To forget her completely we'd have to forget the CFPB and the idea behind it. What we'll more likely forget, and rightly so, is her 2020 candidacy.

@glowaru well yeah there's that too. But if we get this done and Bernie's elected I don't think it's going to matter so much which opponent failed at which strategy to stop him. They'll all be forgotten, at least I hope so because we'll have a lot of reforms and programs to keep focused on. If we're Trumpified enough to obsess on past grievances it'll hold us back.

@glowaru Same here pretty much. History matters and should be there to be accessed when we need it. About giving her some credit (deserved or undeserved), that could be useful if she joined Bernie's ticket (which I doubt will happen). I want to stay focused on ending or sharply curtailing corporate ownership of government and to get that done we'll need, among other things, to strengthen the CFPB. I'm not sure Warren shouldn't run it, after all she created it. If she's carefully watched (and democracy only functions if We The People carefully watch ALL politicians all the time) maybe she'll actually live up to higher expectations. It's a psychological trick that's worked with other populations so why not politicians?
