What Elizabeth Warren wants

摘要

Most Democrats, presumably, would like to hang on to the White House in 2016. Because convinced liberals are a minority of the American electorate, they will need to woo millions of centrists and swing voters to win the presidency. This being so, it is-to put it kindly-puzzling that so many Democrats want to fight the next election by marching angrily to Barack Obama's left. Yet, logically, that is what Democratic activists and pundits mean when they urge Senator Elizabeth Warren, de facto leader of the party's populist wing, to challenge Hillary Clinton for the presidential nomination.
