Kennedy was effective in a different era. Both the "left" and the right in today's Congress are very far right. Compromise on essential issues in that body would mean far-right legislation, which Warren ain't gonna do.

Instead, she needs to continue to be a strong leader who shows Americans that we need to be way to the left for things to get good again. (So far left, that we're 1950s Republicans )
