In reply to the discussion: GAME OVER, Warrenista Liberals! [View all]Utopian Leftist
(534 posts)She has the soul of a liberator and the intelligence to finally put to the test the liberal economic ideals that the left has been promoting, but that even leftist Presidents such as Clinton and Obama have shied away from. I'm talking about raising social security and minimum wage, among other things. Consideration of a living wage, etc. These ideas are progressive because we know that a living wage promotes a healthy middle class. This is no longer even disputed. Progressive economic policies are good for workers and therefore good for America overall. NO WONDER the Republicans hate them so!
The only candidate I know who might conceivably be more progressive on the majority of issues, is Bernie Sanders. But obviously the stigma of being a Socialist will be a huge roadblock towards his candidacy for President.
