Unbelievably, Hillary isn’t far enough left for the commies.

In a sign of the growing pressure Hillary Clinton faces from the left, the Working Families Party is considering backing the movement to draft Sen. Elizabeth Warren to run for President, the Daily News has learned.
One person said the effort was not so much a bid to get the Massachusetts senator to run but to “Warrenize Hillary” by pushing her to adopt more liberal policies.
At a meeting of the WFP’s advisory council last week, executive committee members wanted to bring the idea to a vote, sources said.
Those pushing to publicly back Warren — who has said she will not run for President — included Communications Workers of America, a union that represents 70,000 local members; the labor-backed New York Communities for Change; and the community group Make the Road New York.
“It was clear that CWA, Make the Road and NYCC wanted to leave the meeting saying, ‘We want to support Warren,’” a source said.[…]
The campaign “is 100% focused on getting Elizabeth Warren into the race,” said Democracy for America spokesman Neil Sroka. “As an added benefit, it also shows whoever ends up being the nominee that there’s a strong grassroots movement that wants a candidate focused on income inequality issues from Day One.”
The group has reached out to unions and elected leaders about joining the movement.
“I was happy to hear the WFP is evening considering this issue,” Sroka said. “You can be fans of Clinton and also want to see Warren in this race. A battle of ideas only makes the Democratic party stronger.”
