FF. I have yet to hear a legitimate argument against her. "She's a pro-Assad homophobe who loves Trump and the alt-right!!!!" is not a legitimate argument...or factually correct.

Every political rater (such as DW Nominate or ProgressivePunch, etc.) rates her as moderate, not even in the top 100 most progressive members of the House. That is a much more common argument against her than the one you claimed, and it's a legitimate criticism.

Having said that, I won't hesitate to vote for her if she's the nominee. I wish we lived in a world where everyone who liked any of the 15 (and counting) Democratic candidates would say that about all of them.

Progressive Punch has god awful ratings though they rank Cory Booker Kamala Harris and Kristen Gillibrand as more progressive than Sanders and Warren

Neither Booker nor Gillibrand is rated as more progressive than Warren on PP. Warren is tied with Harris in the 2019-20 ratings and essentially tied on lifetime votes.

You can dig into why Bernie isn't ranked #1 (though he is rated as very progressive) here:
