The reason I bring up that she used to be.p a Republican is because if you look a bit more closely into her record, it really shines through. Admittedly, it may be more of an old-school Republican than the current “two notches below Literal Nazis” Republicans, but it’s still there if you look for it.
She might have been a Republican in the past, but she walks the walk. When someone in her campaign was accused of sexual harassment, it was investigated quickly, and the person was removed. The idea that she can't win is simply absurd. Let's not forget that Hillary lost very narrowly -- and she won the popular vote. And that was in spite of not visiting a few key states, along with her years-long baggage (which Warren does not have). So you'll have to excuse me for finding the idea that she's "Just Hillary" patently absurd and rather sexist.
"Identity Politics" is just a way of saying "We don't need a female President!" That much is obvious from the attacks on the "I'm with her" slogan, which wasn't even the official slogan (which was "Stronger Together". And this time around, I think we've got a DAMN GOOD female candidate running. And she's got a good shot at winning -- not only the primary, but the general election too.
