Still eight months out from the 2020 Iowa caucuses, it’s far too early to say how the Democratic presidential field will whittle down, especially as it pertains to the crowded left-wing lane. Of the top ten candidates (per their RealClearPolitics averages), only former vice president and current front-runner Joe Biden; South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg; and Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn.; have refused to endorse both the Green New Deal and “Medicare for all.” So this is a race dominated by an agenda that can only be described as “centralizing” at best and “socializing” at worst.

Yet even in that left-wing lane, there’s a variety of awful, and as it turns out, the worst policy agenda thus far isn’t from the self-described socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. Instead it’s from Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.
