nairiporterAmong Democrats, I realise policy is not everything and some, like Pete Buttigieg, even started out openly hostile to discussing policy. But policy is what makes any administration tick.
Thus far, Elizabeth Warren seems to have the most detailed policy proposals that I have seen. Klobuchar is good on policy but not this good, and Klobuchar has a prickly personality that has made her as difficult to work with as Bernie Sanders. Like it or not, building coalitions is how policy gets enacted in a democratic nation.
If you think someone else has more detailed and realistic policy positions than Warren, please point me to them and explain why you think that. Even if it's just in one area. Of course we're early in the process so not having every duck lined up and ready to go is understandable.
Let's discuss policy positions of candidates. As an example, let's say I am definitely not fond of Pete Buttigieg, but I think his Medicare buy-in position (Cory Booker has expressed the same thing) is the most viable path forward. Many of Buttigieg's other policy positions seem very thin, but the Medicare buy-in seems to have some thought and research.
So for the other candidates, why do you like a specific policy proposal they have made? Not the candidate themselves but a specific policy, why you like it, and why you think it's well researched at this stage of the process.
