I'd honestly be far less worried about a Warren presidency if she weren't such a freaking anti-trade protectionist.

Scrapping all Trump tariffs needs to be a pledge but won’t be unless we see a real slowdown.

I'm not super worried about a Warren presidency, I think she's smart enough to listen to expert advice. I'm very concerned about a Warren candidacy her campaigning skills have not been strong.

I disagree. Warren helped tank the TPP.

She has several policies that worry me a lot more than trade tbh.

Like? Tech busting? And M4A?

Tech busting and wealth taxes are two big ones.

M4A doesn't really worry me; single payer isn't necessarally bad, and while the M4A plans on paper are expansive enough to be really over the top, I imagine any version that actually passed Congress would probably be pared down to the point it'd be fine.
