????? -- One of my problems with Sanders is that I don't think *he* has a theory of change. It often sounds like:

1) People power
2) ???
3) Fundamental changes to capitalism.

But two problems: first, does his present base grow into a mass revolution? Not obviously.
Second, his existing base of supporters is not now bringing about fundamental change. It's hard to see how they'd do so even if there were twice or even three times as many of them.
Why? Because you need not just a base of engaged supporters, but the ability to translate that energy and support into actual legislation and policy. And Sanders has never shown any particular interest in doing that. (Witness his sparse record of legislative accomplishment.)
So the idea that Sanders supporters criticize Warren on the grounds that she *lacks a theory of change* is baffling to me.

It would be like Trump criticizing someone for insufficient humility.
