Russian propaganda now trying to paint Elizabeth Warren as establishment, new Hillary Clinton.

I told you that russian propaganda sees Elizabeth Warren as the biggest enemy! I told you!

Warning: RT lies by omission. Handle with care.

Thus, two key facts get obfuscated here: the democratic socialist of Sanders is much more radical than Warren, who remains firmly within the Democratic establishment.

...

Warren is not, as her defenders claim, a third way between centrist Democrats and Democratic Socialists, the synthesis of what is best in race/gender identity politics and in the struggle for economic justice.

No, she is just Hillary Clinton with a slightly more human face. Even defenders of Warren admit that her claim to Native American roots was a mistake – but was it really just an innocent mistake?

...

However, the main point is that Warren applied for a "progressive" cause, using the same procedure that the Nazis applied to identify those with suspected Jewish blood.


Elizabeth Warren is the capitalist establishment!
Bernie Sanders is way more radical than Warren! Vote for the real deal!
Elizabeth Warren is like Hillary Clinton!
Elizabeth Warren has baggage!
Elizabeth Warren used Nazi-methods!





You know what's the funniest part?

And reading these barbs, one is immediately overwhelmed by a feeling of deja vu. Because we have lived through this situation before, in the time of the Democratic primaries contested between Sanders and Hillary Clinton.

...when they all agree on virtually every policy.

Good heavens, people. Don't fall for it. Don't fall for any of it, or for any of the nasty tricks that are coming.
