These 2020 hopefuls are courting Wall Street. Don't be fooled by their progressive veneer

82. It's a little early to start setting our sights so low

Being better than the current GOP is setting the bar pretty close to the ground.

I get that some people would prefer a moderate Democrat. I can respectfully disagree. I'm one of those people who are inclined to see a difference between progressive and liberal. The difference being a fundamentally reformist and regulatory economic stance with a steady eye on social justice, equity, a fair playing field, and a robust social safety net.

When candidates start getting in bed, so to speak, with the elite who stand to lose the most, the eye quite often does not remain on the prize when it comes to reform and regulation.

Looking at the field of candidates ranging from very good to excellent, we are presented with a rare opportunity to champion the vision and guts we so often complained that our wishy-washy Democratic leadership lacked.
