36. Spot on...her passion is real

Wed Feb 19, 2020, 07:20 AM

Feb 2020

The best speech she gave this whole campaign IMO was themed around black women workers at Clark University in Atlanta, and the only attention it got was for being disrupted by RW-funded charter school activists. It was the best speech on race (and not just because it was one of the only ones) given by any candidate this whole cycle. Then it was back to the endless IA/NH events.

The focus on those two overwhelmingly white states really hurt Warren (in addition to a few others who were forced to drop out). Those voters rewarded candidates who play it safe on issue after issue at her expense. It would have been a different story in more diverse states.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
