In reply to the discussion: Sen. Warren Exposing Liberal Sexism [View all]ThinkCritically
(241 posts)the same people who were voting for Bernie Sanders were signing petitions to get Elizabeth Warren to run. We would have given her just as many votes as Bernie Sanders got. But she decided she would get more accomplished in congress and didn't run. I agree that we shouldn't bash her for endorsing Hillary after she got to 2026. That is typically the first milestone to become the nominee, usually the point when other candidates drop out. No one should give anybody a hard time for choosing to support the party to make sure Donald Trump doesn't get elected. However, If Elizabeth Warren wants to save any credibility after endorsing the exact type of candidate she has railed against throughout her time in congress, she needs to make it clear that she is only endorsing Hillary to make sure Trump isn't elected and that she will be pushing for Bernies platform.
