    I don't think it matters much if the average Democrat is the same as a Republican if it means the few good Democrats have some share of influence vs no one good having any influence. Sanders as Chairman of the Budget Committee in a Biden Administration without a filibuster could actually have an influence on policy. You can look up the ranking member for each committee and subcommittee right now. I think that Warren would a better Chair for the Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Protection then Tim Scott of South Carolina for example.

      I dont know who else needs to hear this, but we have to be done with believing the system could be made less crueler. sure it’s nice to have bernie be chair for the budget subcommittee, but we also saw dems go through great lengths to defeat progressive candidates to then lose to the conservatives.

      The nice/painless way of changing is out, at least IMO

        I have no illusions that they won't do everything they can to defeat progressives in the primaries. If they could successfully primary Sanders they would. But once someone is the Chair, legislation doesn't get past them without approval. Of course they'll be input from everyone on the Committee but you get what I'm saying.
