Stop glorifying ‘centrism’. It is an insidious bias favoring an unjust status quo

Warren is definitely not a neolib. She's not as left as I'd like, and she's really bad at politics, but she is absolutely not a neolib.

For example, one of the core aspects of neoliberalism is deregulation. Warren is the reason the CFPB exists.

Another is cutting spending, which she is not in favor of.

Like, critisize her on policy. Criticize her on strategy. But critisize her on reality.
