f they're smart, liberals could use Warren's new power to make the changes to the party that are so badly needed
Despite being so notoriously difficult to get right, predictions are part of the pundits stock-in-trade. So once youve got some grains of salt ready to toss into the mix, please indulge me for a moment as I make one of my own.
Here it goes: Twenty years from now, assuming climate change has not yet ended the world as we know it, most American liberals wont think of this fall as the time when Republicans finally retook control of the U.S. Senate. And they wont think of it as the brief pause that separated the era of Barack Obama from that of Hillary Clinton. Instead, when the liberals of our near future look back on the current moment, theyll remember it as the hour when the Democratic Party began to move decisively to the left, thanks in no small part to the continued ascendance of Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

I think of Elizabeth as a fighter for all people, for fairness for all. Especially as today's society is controlled by the Corporations.
That really is not political. Or should I say - it shouldn't be. But in today's world it is Corporations vs People and one party represents the corporations and the other represents the people.

I'm not aware of her positions on other issues key to liberals. Can you help?
