Elizabeth Warren is more caring of issues that matter to me.
-Helping the poor
-Helping the homeless
-more money for the safetynet
Getting away from the current shit and back on important stuff like the above is the only way Biden can beat trump.
^ And ALL of that is better done through localized nonprofits
that have greater accountability to the people they serve instead of relying on federal govt.

The problem I have with Democrats is pushing social programs into federal govt
where this causes conflicts and problems in multiple areas
(1) it take resources and attention AWAY from building the social support locally
so people and communities become self reliant and sustainable. So when pandemic
or other disabling attacks hit any area, all regions can be self supporting and not
be forced to shut down if they are not depending on federal govt to manage them.
The reason poor communities are harder hit, is constant reliance on outside support.
So if Democrats really care about the poor, they would help them to become independent.
Like wanting to help families support themselves. Not stay dependent on govt and continue to vote the same party into office!
(2) too many social programs "bogging down" federal govt
also prevent federal govt from focusing on national issues such as security,
and other areas ONLY FEDERAL GOVT can do. Most social issues can be
handled locally or statewide, with the exception of NATIONAL emergencies.
So if TOO much of the programs that could be done by local or state
are Collectively pushed onto the FEDERAL level from all 50 states,
that ties up the govt which should be freed up and reserved ONLY for federal level
emergencies. That's why the response gets bogged down -- it should be organized
on the grassroots level first, where most of the demands are met already.
And only the NATIONAL level should be handled by federal govt.
(3) Lastly, half the nation being conservative, that means taxpayers
DON'T ALL CONSENT to running social programs through federal govt!
To many Conservatives and Constitutionalists, it's not even LAWFUL to impose
social legislation, especially abortion, through federal govt on everyone!
Why can't the liberals understand this?
Socialism is like Christianity, and Social Programs for the benefit of charity or humanity
are like Christian outreach that also saves lives and helps millions of people meet needs.
However, it is NOT lawful to impose Christianity or Christian programs or beliefs through Govt.
And likewise, Socialist programs and beliefs are not Constitutional either,
DESPITE the good intent of helping more people and "saving lives."
Politicallyinsane That is FINE if you personally believe in paying
for more of the social programs. My argument is for DEMOCRATS
who believe in that as a personal political religion, that is your
right to exercise that as your creed. But you (and Warren, Pelosi and Sanders)
have ZERO right to abuse govt to force socialist beliefs or policies
on the public, and force taxpayers to fund and comply with YOUR beliefs
that Conservatives and Constitutionalists both deem UNLAWFUL to impose on them through govt.
If it's NOT lawful to impose Christian beliefs and programs
through Govt and make "all taxpayers fund that to save lives"
then it isn't lawful to impose secular Socialist equivalents either.
People should have equal freedom to exercise their own beliefs,
in which case Christians who want to fund charities or schools, including medical services,
through their own nonprofit organizations should be able to choose that
instead of being forced to fund these through Govt against their beliefs.
