I hope so. The problem is that most "progressives" don't consider Warren a progressive. In fact they have already been been grumbling over some of the picks already last I read about it.
But I hope Biden ignores both those progressives and the moderate democrats and just picks Warren since she has been at this financial stuff since Occupy Wall Street.
The AOC contingent is pissing me off lately. I would feel a lot better about all of her activism if she confronted other Dems face to face and honestly tried to persuade them or hash things out before going straight to trashing them in the press. It just seems like she’s more interested in seeking the status of hero for the progressives than actually trying to eke out victories by trying to work with other Dems. It’s hard for me to respect someone after I get the impression that they seek the limelight over other considerations.
As for Liz Warren being Sec Treasury...
I think people sleep on Elizabeth Warren. I think she doesn’t get nearly the credit she deserves as an advocate for consumers.
She proposed the Consumer Financial Protection Agency and was the original Director.
If you think Kamala Harris or Katie Porter are tough and take no bs as questioners, just check out what Warren regularly did to bigwig crooks when they came before Congress. And she is always
toughest on crooked, greedy CEOs and Wall Street types.
I believe in her passion for fairness. I think that as Sec Treasury, that passion would seek to serve the working people first.
I don’t even have a second preference right now.
