Warren is neither progressive enough for the Sandernista voters nor reactionary enough to garner support from the DNC. Her green bombs proposal is a desperate attempt stake out a middle path amid the chaos and crisis afflicting the Democratic Party. A "greener" military state is not the kind of "new deal" that workers and poor people, especially Black America, are looking for. The rise of Sanders and the popularity of policies such as the Green New Deal indicate that living wage employment, healthcare for all, and relief from student and other forms of parasitic debt top the list of changes that most of the constituents in the Democratic Party want to see. Warren won't deliver on this basic economic program in her campaign and Sanders cannot be trusted to wage a struggle against his own party once its corporate overlords sabotage his presidential aspirations for a second time. White supremacy, endless war, and capitalist austerity cannot be resolved from within a political party that is bought and owned by the ruling class. The hope is that the political crisis engendered by the struggle between the oligarchs and Sanders,with some help from the likes of Tulsi Gabbard and even Elizabeth Warren, will lead to the splintering of the Democratic Party and more room for independent, left political forces to breath and grow.
