That's the thing though. Any meaningful presidency, at this point, is doomed to be 1-term.
We have a lot of very unpopular corrections that need to be made, on top of the issues being impossible to platform on to begin with.
How do you platform on the reality that Stock Buybacks need to be prohibited again because they've caused stock equities to balloon 200% higher than they should be. (i.e. we need to crash the market by 65%)
How do you platform on the reality that labor unions need to be dismantled, or restructured in such a way that people who should've left the workforce 10 years ago are no longer raking in salaries and pensions over 400% more lucrative than the pay structures and long-term incentives of new hires?
How do you platform on the reality that the remnants of the "Greatest Generation" and the baby boomers' party is over, and it's time to stop robbing their children's and grandchildren's futures?
I mean, I've seen Warren's position at least one of these matters (stock buybacks) but when she voiced her concern and it was met with scorn and derision on both sides of the political aisle (because of her colleagues obvious self-serving reasons), but how the hell can anyone get elected on a platform of incredibly unpopular, but absolutely necessary issues?
