Increasingly, the Democratic presidential nomination seems a battle between former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren. …
The two leaders – Biden and Warren – are the two candidates who have presented the clearest rationales for their candidacy. Biden fundamentally promises a return to the Obama years and Warren pledges big structural change. The latter is making some observers nervous, resulting in a spate of polls that show general election voters are not yet ready to embrace big structural change. …
There are many reasons to be anxious about the 2020 election. The stakes are extraordinarily high, we are now in an impeachment process, and, with over a year to go, many factors are simply unknowable, including the progress of Democratic candidates as they move toward the nomination and the general election, the erratic behavior of the president, and the potential for corruption of the process.
I am not, however, concerned about Warren’s articulation of the need for big structural change. Here’s why: CONT.
