Nope.

What she did was wreck the idea she is economically left.

The economic lefties are just fine and are building a base of power as they should be doing.

Liz just is very unlikely to be a part of that core effort. She remains welcome to contribute, and many hope she does.

So how come you view her "Medicare for all" plan as not being part of the economic left?

That is an interesting viewpoint. Who, besides perhaps Sanders, seems to be representive of the new economic left in your view?
