There are quite a few:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ultra-Millionaires Tax<\/strong><br \/>\nWarren has been one of the most vocal advocates for taxing the rich as a way to pay for \u201cuniversal childcare\u201d and student loan debt relief.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Elimination of the Electoral College<\/strong><br \/>\nSince Democrats lost the election in 2016, many have been in strong support of abolishing the Electoral College\u2014and Warren is no different. During one of the Democratic debates, Warren called for a national popular vote as well as restoring voting rights to felons.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Banning Assault Weapons<\/strong><br \/>\nMost of the Democratic presidential candidates have called for an assault weapons ban. This is despite the fact that, when asked, none of the candidates could define exactly what an assault weapon is.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Decriminalization of Border Crossing<\/strong><br \/>\nWarren has called for the decriminalization of border crossings. Being that San Diego borders Mexico, this is a major consideration for voters here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Other issues for these protestors include Medicare for all (which will raise taxes exorbitantly), abortion, and Warren\u2019s claim that she will use anti-trust laws to break up large corporations like Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the reception received by the protestors was very positive. Several media outlets covered them and many Warren supporters were eager to have discussions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Michael Palomba Last Thursday, Sen.
