...met by deafening silence when a candidate carries forward that mantle with specific and bold proposals.

Struggling to keep from being cynical about the years of chatter here about Warren and the rest when I see post like this one ignored. Put 'Bernie' on the title and it shoots up to hundred-plus recs, even though there's still no detailed plan available from his campaign (or Hillary's). I'm exhausted with being polite about that.

Pity that Hillary Clinton isn't likely to be much better than a Republican in this regard.
