Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Good on Warren for saying this. I think that the attacks on Warren for staying in the 2020 primary were really overboard. She would have been a great candidate 🥲
Warren, along with the other candidates, colluded with the DNC to drop out en masse in favor of Biden. She, unlike Bernie, is a DNC card-carrying member who, despite her positive work and Progressive stance on Wall Street, played along with the machinations of the Democratic party. They ignored the will of the people.
If she had endorsed Sanders instead of accusing him of lying (second link), we might have had a different outcome. Moreover, Hillary implied he was sexist - a laughable accusation.
Warren lacked the convictions she needed when the time was right.
Holy shit, you just mind blasted me with a memory I had lost. That whole shit show between Bernie and Warren during a debate where she acted all fluffed and pissed off because Bernie was apparently somekind of sexist?! or at least the media and her team tried to play it that way but it completely backfired if I remember right.
Yeah, that was the gist of it.
Hillary didn't just imply he was sexist, she claimed (without proof) that he said that women were prone to rape fantasies
I'm surprised the "Bernie Bro." thing stuck when "Obama Boy" didn't
OMG a conspiracy by the DNC to elect an actual registered Democrat instead of an independent, how shocking /s
seriously, what did you expect?
Sanders could have won every single vote cast for Warren and he'd still have lost the primary. Stop making up conspiracies and start recognizing that we need more people to vote for us.
I literally posted that with receipts. Enjoy your copium.
They just scream "conspiracy theorist" at everyone to their left because they can no longer pretend that we all want Trump to win. Wondered what was gonna replace "trumper!" as the go-to admission that they're not listening and are out of touch on purpose.
Indeed, especially since they're gonna rehabilitate Trump like they did with Bush
Nobody cares if you wanted Trump to win, you absolute knob. Whether you wanted to or not, you played a pivotal role in his win.
I would say it was unknowingly done, but I know for a fact that it was explained to you likely hundreds of times.
Shame on you.
You hold me solely responsible for millions of voters staying home. Look at you.
You can't accept that genocide wasn't as popular as you wanted it to be.
Your whole "Kamela did Genocide!" point is negated by the fact that Trump did so much worse... to the same people
"Our genocide is the second worst genocide" has proven to be an unconvincing message.
It's still harm reduction that you didn't do
Hell you mean? I voted for her. I was not required to be happy about it.
Did I say solely?
Lol nobody has ever bought the "people who voted for Harris like genocide" shit. It's so fucking lame.
The fact that you keep repeating it gives away the bad faith. Otherwise you would have an actual argument. Try harder next time.
I voted for Harris. People like you who see opposition to genocide and immediately start screaming "trumper," on the other hand, do support genocide.
None of your links refuted anything about how Warren's endorsement would have changed anything, which is my statement. They didn't even support your conspiracies, they just referenced events that non-believers and true believers don't have any disagreement over. Just posting any old link is not "receipts". Receipts actually support your statements.
"Here's how Bernie could still win"
He's not the one with the copium addiction bro.
That's not what I said. Reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.
She should have gotten the fuck out before super Tuesday.
Or ran in 2016 like Bernie asked her to do. But she sat it out because she wanted Clinton to run.
No they weren't.
