Disagreements about policial strategy, sure. But is there any policy on which you fundamentally disagree with Warren?
I'm well aware that you're to the left of Biden and have blasted him repeatedly. You're still a very generic, cookie cutter progressive and when it comes to countering Republican arguments, you latch onto the liberal talking point of the week all the time.
Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, don't get me wrong. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the policy positions you are arguing for are very orthodox within your corner of the politcal spectrum and much easier to support than the heterodox positions I am defending on many occasions.
When Democrats do something progressive I generally support it because it's better than what we have now. In addition to that, I call them pussies for not going further and I advocate for a ton of positions that fundamentally clash with Democrats positions.
I'm somewhere around Socialist. That means when Democrats come out with a "progressive" or "liberal" position I'm generally for it, because it is further to the left of whatever we have now. That doesn't mean I don't want to go further. I'll take 10k student loan forgiveness but what I want is eradication of student loans as a concept and federalization of the public and private school systems with insurance of equal access. I don't only want green subsidies for solar and such, I want nationalization of the energy industry as a whole with a mass manufacturing push towards producing excessive amounts of carbon-negative energy (excess nuclear energy followed by a mass effort to suck CO2 out of the atmosphere using the extra energy). I'll take a stock trading ban from those in congress, but I want a total change to how our senate and house seats are allocated, a fully public system of campaign finance, and a ban on working for any private company after your term.
None of these are within a mile of what any Democrat except maybe Bernie would be willing to fight for. But you take what you can get in life, and work to move the window further as you go.
On the social side I don't want bans on transgender people in sports. I want a total abolition of gender as a whole and our language related to those concepts to only reflect the biological nature. I.e. Dresses are for everyone, and males are defined as "having a penis and not any female associated parts".
