Letter: Elizabeth Warren isn’t ‘left’–though the media says she is

Just because the media says Elizabeth Warren is ‘left’ doesn’t make it so

Re: “Walters: Can Kamala Harris break California’s presidential jinx?” (Eastbaytimes.com, Sept. 1):

Just because the media disinformationally tells people that Sen. Elizabeth Warren is “left,” doesn’t make it so. Bernie is left, because he’s teaching socialism, a huge difference. Warren doesn’t come near that — let alone do any of the others.

The rest of the opinion piece could well have been done without — it’s lame, and contributes nothing to consideration of any of the named concerns: Who can be considered a worthy candidate; what’s happened in the past regarding candidacies; California versus Texas, New York, etc.

The good point here is that we’re grateful for the solid campaign the socialist content brings forward. We deserve to be the beneficiaries of our work, work our owners steal back from us to profit from and to keep us weak through lack of use of what we make and like.
