Warren has done good work at the CFPB. She undercut Bernie because she was incredibly competent and knowledgeable, and granted to the right of him a bit politically but almost anyone elected in government is. She would have been a much better choice than Billary, has progressive receipts and would have spoken to economic issues that pull in more voters; instead the Democratic party fucked Sanders and anointed Hillary who was running a platform of "bomb Iran" in the primaries and made the job easy for the media who had decades of Clinton material to pull from.
