we could have had Bernie, except Warren was a backstabbing scumbag. oh well. we got what we deserved: suffering.
If you mean her rhetoric, she was just playing the game of politics, and I don't fault her for that.
If you mean not dropping out after it was apparent the moderate candidates were going to coalesce behind Biden, yeah, fuck her.
That backstab is why I now vote against her in her Senate primaries. It’s deeply frustrating, because until that point, I really did think she was one of the best possibilities for being a sane and effective presidential candidate.
I would still vote for her, given her voting record and policy proposals she supports/ed, but I will say the $40 I donated to her campaign are the only political donations I've ever regretted making.
I could not have a beer with her, either I'd be thinking about bringing it up the entire time. Actually, I would have a beer with her just to ask her what the hell happened? How does she feel about her legacy? What did it feel like to be the OG Fetterman?
The left is constantly punching itself in the dick with purity tests. You’d think they’d realize that’s half the reason why they’re constantly spinning their wheels. Liz would be the most left wing president since FDR
Wait, liberals have been saying that Biden is the "most left wing president since FDR" for his entire term. Have you all changed your mind?
Biden is a Reagan Republican, and everyone knows it. He's a better choice than a literal manchild Nazi.
I haven't heard a single instance of this actually occuring.
I'd bet my last dollar you haven't either.
Have they? I've never heard anyone say that.
Nixon was the most left wing president of my lifetime. Socially left doesn't make one a leftist.
Democratic primary debates were fire in 2020 Liz Warren slaughtering Bloomberg live on TV was a highlight
Edit: years
2020, you mean. 2016 was Hillary and Bernie in a room with a lock on the door.
I wasn't too fond of Warren until she showed some teeth in the 2020 debates. It was a treat to see her take down everyone on stage.
Shame she [checks notes] didn't even win her home fucking state in the primaries while the moderates were all throwing their support behind one candidate. Still not sure what level of delusion prompted her to stay in considering that was in-line with what she was polling.
The Bernie and Biden debate was what I always thought political debates should be. They presented different viewpoints on how to solve problems and had productive discussion about it.
Fixed, yeah, she should have dropped out and let the moderates and progressives go 1v1. We had some of the best moments and memes when the field was open early on.
Bloomberg came in to stop Bernie not Warren same reason she ran. Whats that lady smoking.
Since 1993, with the exception of Obama (1961), every president was born either 1942 or 1946. Sanders and Warren are both born in the 1940's too.
Just stop voting fossils goddammit.
That's easy to say but when there are laws in place to protect the entrenched two-party system and they're choosing who you get to vote for, it should be plainly obvious that we're just being given an illusion of choice.
Look at Trump's term, then at Biden's. America as a whole didn't really change. The talking heads sqwaked about different topics but ultimately we're no different as a country than were 8 years ago. It's a lot of finger pointing in the end but ultimately when one side gets in, the rich get tax breaks. When the opposite side gets in, the same rich tax the poor harder via increased prices at every register. Either way, their wealth increases and they get richer.
The only way forward should be sweeping, drastic change which is often the platform both parties run on, yet neither are ever held accountable for failure to deliver on those promises. The fact that we live in a country as vast as the USA while somehow only having a choice between two different shit sandwiches is utterly ridiculous. I'm tired of eating shit!
Oh yeah well y'all could have elected me for mayor of poop city in 2003 and instead I only got 5 votes. Lost by 2.
