This piece does not cover much of the issues at all, which is why I say surface level. There are some opinions, and perhaps a bit of satire; however, where there is smoke, there is fire.

Reason is a libertarian publication (and the writer is a libertarian columnist) and does not reflect opinions of the average reader. This is strictly an opinion piece.

The author's political bias is clear throughout the piece. A great example is this sentence here, '"Elizabeth Warren has a plan for you" isn't just a campaign slogan, it's a threat." This piece reads like an out-of-touch op ed, using the upcoming debate as an excuse to bash every frontrunner candidate her could.

The article would do better without tearing down the other runners for the democratic nominee. Mentioning age and health issues of candidates is needless slander. Also, as I understand it, Warren only recently adopted some of the stances the author is citing.
