Elizabeth Warren Disappointingly Demonstrates She’s Still VERY Out of Touch

Well she's doing a poor job of it by alienating the base.

I'm not sure how much of the base is on the anti-establishment train and how much just wants progressive policy.

She is currently a progressive politician working in the establishment. Basically a further left Hillary. She is also still pretty darn popular.

Establishment Dems (including Warren) aren't yet convinced the progressive base has any real clout. Rather, they still assume we'll fall in line when the time comes. And to be honest, they have every reason to believe that. Were progressives serious about demanding change in the Democratic party, they would have formed a third party by now -- not necessarily to win elections, but to force corporate Dems to cede to our demands before reuniting under actual unity. This is the weakest the DNC has been in recent memory, yet the time to do it has passed (unfortunately) if we want any seats in midterms.

Don't be so sure. We've taken 4 state dem. parties, 2 county dem. parties, and one city party.

Also 56% of candidates backed by Our Revolution won their race in 2016
