Throughout this 2020 primary season, the dynamic of the left versus the centrists among the numerous democratic candidates has been interesting to say the least. Perhaps one of the most hopeful and telling aspects so far has been the relationship between Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, and Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. Regardless of how anyone might feel about the personal politics of these two lawmakers, it’s certainly been interesting to see how these two have responded to each other’s proposals.

Giving credit where credit is due, there’s no doubt that these two are the most policy driven candidates in the race. Because of that, we are given a glimpse in to their leadership styles, where their priorities truly lie, how they view the problems facing every day Americans, and the best ways to solve them.

But along with that comes the emergence of flaws as we get to know these candidates, and unfortunately as time goes on I’ve come to notice one that I just can’t get beyond when it comes to Senator Warren.

Perhaps if Bernie Sanders weren’t on the stage, and hadn’t run in 2016, Elizabeth Warren’s lack of courage in certain areas would have been less obvious. To be fair…
