I do not understand how Elizabeth Warren didn't get more interest 4 years ago. She was clearly the best candidate and one who has the kind of broad appeal Bernie Sanders does. I think I'm at a point where my belief is that the bankers who are probably gonna vote Republican anyway who fund campaigns very explicitly don't want someone like Sanders or Warren to be president
The Democratic establishment doesn’t want people who go after their donors. Mainly big banks, but also pharmaceutical and insurance companies which if you ask me all need to be reformed and heavily regulated and a lot of people need to go to prison for what they’ve done to the country over the past 24 years. But hey, who am I, just somebody who wants better for the country that doesn’t have to do with sucking rich cocks.
One-fucking-hundred percent.
Warren was my choice over Bernie for strategic value even though I like Bernie more. If we didn't have explicitly Republican propaganda outlets I think conservatives would have been more comfortable with her too as she was once a Republican and understands business law.
Hell she literally wrote the book on my, and others, biggest issue "the two income trap" where society has defined economic success by "family income" instead of individual incomes. People like myself suffer because we're perpetually single so we only have one income. Family income says everything is rosy because it's now 2 incomes. :(
