Warren gets Working Familes Party endorsement

Kasparian and guest discuss this endorsement. The WFP claims they chose Warren over Sanders because she represents their movement. And yet Sanders has been spearheading workers issues since forever. Part of worker issues is Medicare For All, which Sanders wrote and Warren is now hedging on. Plus Warren is also hedging between progressive issues and trying to court the more establishment Dems who are no longer about worker issues. Another key difference is that Sanders also names the enemy, big money and corporations, which must be defeated in order to obtain better worker rights. Warren also hedges in trying to include that enemy in a solution when they are in fact the main impediment to worker issues.

Granted Warren has a sweeping new anti-corruption plan. It's almost as if we could just get the corruption out of business then they'd be honest brokers in worker issues. But the very nature of capitalism is to exploit workers to maximize profits, so it's more than corruption but inherent to a defunct system. Is trying to reform a broken system the answer? Sure, it's a good start but we need more.

PS: The video also explores how the WFP voted for Warren, with their leaders having 50% of the voting power. They were asked for the total vote count and refused to provide it.
