Sparks will fly when Sanders and Warren face off at Tuesday night's debate by caseydarnell_
Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have competed for months to position themselves as the top progressive in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary. They will have the chance to make their case to voters Tuesday night during CNN’s primary debate.
Their solutions for certain issues aren’t always the same, but they share many of the same concerns about inequality and the economy. On student loan debt, for example, Warren proposes wiping out $640 billion of outstanding debt on the basis of need. Sanders wants to cancel all $1.6 trillion of student debt, regardless of the borrower’s income.
But strictly speaking, socialism refers to a state-controlled economy where the government owns the means of production, including factories, farms, offices and resources. Democratic socialists, including Sanders, support the expansion of government social programs, economic regulations and greater worker ownership of businesses, but they reject the totalitarian systems characteristic of Soviet or Cuban communism.
Warren and Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., another 2020 contender, co-sponsored bills with Sanders in May that included measures to help create and expand worker-owned businesses. Workers owning the means of production — in this case, the company — fits the definition of socialism, but Warren forcefully rejects being called a socialist.
After he lost his bid for the party’s presidential nomination in 2016, Sanders claimed that the race was “rigged” in favor of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. His claim of wrongdoing was spurred by WikiLeaks’ dump of emails from the Democratic National Committee in 2016 that revealed bias among top officials in favor of Clinton.
