"I was a Republican because I thought that those were the people who best supported markets". According to Warren, she began to vote Democratic in 1995 because she no longer believed that to be true, but she states that she has voted for both parties because she believed that neither party should dominate.
If you find some hint of far-left radicalism in that, or even if you don't of course, go ahead and believe. But,
Moderates on the left and right are far more like each other than they are like extremists.
Extremists on the left and right are far more like each other than they are like moderates.
Importantly, Warren was
never a far-righter who made the short trip across the open end of the ideologic U to become a far-lefter. Nor did this conservative-leaning moderate but
very smart female have a personality transplant and become all-liberal. She started voting Democratic more often because the GOP became extremist conservative and she wouldn't go there --
she chose to fight right-wing extremism in and out of the GOP.
My guess is that like most sensible people without delusions she has a preference but feels both would be acceptable to her. I literally cannot guess who this very independent-thinking woman's preference would be for. Sanders is pulling farther left, true, but she's also had years to observe any extremist-personality characteristics as a colleague. Note that virtually all of his colleagues who have endorsed said no to endorsing him.
