So is Elizabeth Warren completely under the bus now?

At that poorly formatted JPR site I found a couple OP where they not only threw her under the bus but backed over her and pulled forward- twice!


Guess we aren't supposed to link to that place right?

there are threads there about Hillary being a secret lesbian, numerous people talking about how Trump is a better choice than Clinton, people calling Clinton the B-word and C-bomb.

the man who used that name here would never have associated himself with that kind of garbage.

So, who cares what the inmates at some unprincipled asylum think of Warren? She's proven herself to be smart and principled.

but the Secretary's sexuality is not off limits for public discussion. It SHOULD be, but it is not. She is running for the most powerful job in the world. I don't care who she fancies, but let's not pretend JPR invented that story either.

while it's true that, technically, nothing is off-limits in the age of Trump, that doesn't mean that everything is a legitimate subject of public interest

I would like to know though how she can so quickly champion someone who espouses what she rails against (specifically Wall St). If it's just to defeat Trump, I'd rather her say that no matter the disagreements she has with the Secretary, it is better than electing Trump. A full on lovefest is slightly more confusing to the Sanders supporters.

That's just my honest take. YMMV

In honor of all they've ever accomplished.

It's a loser site for losers to wallow in their loserness. Give them a few weeks to whine, though, and they'll be back to doxxing female tech reporters like they were before they discovered politics.

The opinions expressed in this post are targeted exclusively at members of that other site, the human open septic tank JackSquatFanaticals. No DU members were harmed during the production of this post.

Part of OP "At that poorly formatted JPR site" which you know is made up of Sanders supporters.

Then you add "They are open to racists, bigots, and misogynists. They are very open about it."

Tell me what I'm missing? Better yet, leave me alone.

In my opinion, nobody goes under the bus for endorsing Hillary after she had locked up a majority of the pledged delegates. If anything people like Warren and the president get credit for not jumping in before that.

But I have not really thrown anyone under the bus except Barney Frank, and he had done and said some other things that pissed me off prior to his attacks on Bernie.
