Interesting. I also believe very strongly we need to end crony-capitalism and drain the corporate money out of politics. A new law to overturn the Citizens United ruling would be a good start. We are 100% aligned on those things for sure. Warren also talked about all those things, but Warren has a longer track record of doing things to get corporate money out of politics, including her crusade against bankster corruption. As the article stated, the substantive difference between Bernie and Warren is that Bernie wants to replace private enterprise with government control. Warren wants to rewrite the rules of capitalism to tilt the balance in the favor of the people. It's a subtle difference that I don't think most GOP members will ever even acknowledge, but it's an important one. I support Warren's efforts to control the banks. I think the biggest problem we have never solved is the need to break up the big banks and reinstate Glass Steagle. Warren wants to do exactly that. That's not anti-capitalist. That's trust busting.

Incidentally, I also think we should pass a law declaring social media platforms including Google, Twitter, Facebook, and others that attempt to compete with those models as "public forums", subject to 1st Amendment protections under the Constitution. I don't know of anyone in either party that is willing to do that, but it is what is required if we want to safeguard our most important freedom of all.
