The Many Ways Sanders and Warren Are Different & Why It Matters | naked capitalism
The following is his list, with links where he includes them (bolded emphasis mine, lightly edited for clarity and to correct errors):
1) Sanders supports national rent control, Warren does not.
2) Sanders has a plan to end homelessness in the U.S., Warren does not.
3) Sanders says there should be no billionaires, Warren says there should.
This one requires some discussion, but not for now.

4) Sanders IDs as a Democratic Socialist, Warren is a “capitalist to [her] bones.”
5) Sanders was endorsed by 3/4 of the Squad (AOC, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar), Warren by 1/4 (Ayanna Pressley).
6) Sanders voted against all of Trump’s military budgets, Warren voted for some.

13) Sanders supports universal franchise, Warren was unwilling to commit.
