I may be a Gen-X white guy, but as a Warren supporter these tweets speak for me.

[Bleacher Creature]

I'm all in no matter who we nominate, but it's still a travesty as to what happened to Warren's campaign.

1. Wall Street does not like Warren.

And that summarizes exactly who is behind all of the attacks, and the US corporate controlled media silence.

[LonePirate]

7. All the more reason to vote for Warren.

[guillaumeb]

9. I agree.

She presents a real, credible threat to the dominance of Wall Street.

[blm]

2. Warren is the most prepared nominee for this time of rampant corruption.

Warren is the anticorruption warrior to face and replace the most corrupt WH in US history.

Her entire life has prepared her for this.

She is not wired to attack her fellow Dems. She is wired to confront corruption....relentlessly.

[malchickiwick]

3. This Gen X white dude who will be caucusing for Liz this Saturday also feels this.

To me Warren is and has been the most energetic and energizing, without the, ahem, baggage other candidates carry.

I'm at a complete loss to understand what happened, other than misogyny.

[CalFione]

6. Why is mysogyny hurting Warren... but not Klobuchar?

... who is rising in polls and has momentum?

[Kurt V.]

10. Warren is still polling in the 12s. klobuchar in 4s. Unfortunately she will get the same

if she keeps rising. every single word parsed. Every misstep amplified

[guillaumeb]

11. It is misogyny,

witness the attacks on Klobuchar accusing her of being a difficult boss, but Warren is seen as hostile to the interests of the rich.

And welcome to DU.

[CalFione]

15. The "difficult boss" thing is bullshit

If Klobuchar was a man, she would be considered "driven" and a "perfectionist".


So I guess I am admitting that mysogyny is hurting Amy too. But she is gaining momentum.

[guillaumeb]

18. Yes, we know that women are held to a different standard.

Men are expected to be driven, and ambitious. It is seen as a positive trait. Women who exhibit the same traits are called unelectable, and unlikeable.

[malchickiwick]

29. This. Exactly this.

Thank you for articulating what I was attempting to say.

[guillaumeb]

37. I thought that you also framed it well.

But the US corporate media does not agree.

[blm]

23. No doubt.

[malchickiwick]

28. Oh I think misogyny is the only explanation for Pete's polling ahead of Amy.

She is so much more qualified and her resume is so much more solid.

[Scotch-Irish]

31. Amy hasn't taken on Wall Street for her whole career, nor the monopolies that rule America.

Warren has, and those monopolies and Wall Street have a lot of money, and a lot of people in the media like their money.

I'm not disparaging Amy...she's my second choice now. But Warren has been a voice for reform, and Amy has been more establishment.

[peggysue2]

4. It's a double whammy after Hillary Clinton

We all watched what happened in 2016, the abuse, the smears, the outright lies. HRC was not only the most qualified female candidate, she was the most qualified and experienced candidate in decades. The character assassination was insane.

Now you have another qualified, well-spoken woman (Warren) who has been disappeared as if she were a light-weight.

Though Elizabeth Warren is not my candidate of choice, I think her supporters are righteously entitled to their rage. I was an ardent Hillary supporter and felt the same damn thing.

[mdelaguna]

19. +1

[CalFione]

5. You're kind of erasing Amy Klobuchar here

There's another woman running... who currently has more momentum and is raising more money than Elizabeth Warren.

[Bleacher Creature]

13. Warren was getting close to frontrunner status at one point.

Klobuchar had a great moment in NH, but she's still seen as a second tier candidate right now. If that changes, I'd expect the same thing to happen to her.

And I say that as a fan of Klobuchar, so much so that she's probably my second choice (notwithstanding the fact that she and Warren are very different politically).

[LonePirate]

8. Another Gen X white guy who supports Warren is checking in as well.

[Kurt V.]

12. K&R head and shoulders the best candidate imo

[backtoblue]

16. +1 nt

[lunasun]

14. ++ Rec

[aikoaiko]

17. I'm just disappointed that she doesn't really want to fight for the nomination.

Warren could have slammed Joe Biden all day long on his support for credit card companies and civil forfeiture over families.

Warren could have slammed Bernie for not having better plans to pay for things

Warren could run circles around Pete's lack of experience.

Instead she attacked Bernie with an unprovable She said, He said incident. That backfired. She otherwise played nice.

I wanted EW to be a more practical Bernie leftist.

Maybe she'll turn it on but its getting late and it may look like desperation.

Winning the nomination and presidency has never been about being the most competent or qualified.

[Evolve Dammit]

21. Maybe you have to get in the gutter, but I respect Liz even more for not. She has worked her ass off

and deserves the nomination.

[blm]

22. Warren doesn't attack teammates, she's wired to confront corruption.

She is smarter and tougher than you, me, and everyone in this race when confronting corruption.

[aikoaiko]

27. I totally agree that she is smarter than me and most people (including the other candidates).

There is a line between differentiating oneself from others and attacking others, but either way, I wish she was doing better.

[Blue_true]

25. She tied herself too closely to Bernie and his promises.

Then, being the detailed person she seems to be, she tried to put numbers to the biggest of those promises. Bernie just keeps sailing along making promises that aren't backed by numbers.

[radius777]

32. Bingo. She should've pressed Bernie

to come up with his numbers, then presented her own. Then forced the media to shine a light on him.

I don't see what her strategy was for the nomination.

Sexism clearly plays a huge role in this also, as it did with Kamala.

[blm]

34. So Biden, Buttigieg, and Klobuchar could attack Warren but not Bernie,

while it was Warren’s duty to press Bernie?

Horsepoo. They attacked Warren as being dishonest at the debates and lauded Sanders as being honest in his position.

[radius777]

35. Agree that was stupid of them

but I think they thought Bernie would sink and/or he wasn't in their lane, while Warren was seen as on the rise.

In that sense they did help to uplift Bernie and bring down Warren.

But by hitting Bernie she could've shown she was the rational choice for the left, as well as attracting some centrist voters who dislike Bernie and just want to see someone call him out.

But I guess it was risky also for her, due to backlash from Bernie's base.

All of the candidates should've pummelled Bernie - if he get's the nomination he would've snuck through without having to answer for his record or plans.

[Blue_true]

41. The problem is Bernie has studiously avoided coming up with numbers.

Even if she had asked him to, I seriously doubt that he would have. I can't understand why people believe that a person who has spent 30+ years in Washington and accomplished nothing beyond changes that were wildly popular across all parties (Vets Bill, naming Post Offices) will be able to effect one of the most massive overhauls in the nation's history, FDR and LBJ were far more skilled and accomplished and they didn't accomplish that.

[warmfeet]

20. I am a white male, 57 year old boomer (technically boomer, I guess).

I would be so proud to have Elizabeth Warren as my president, our president! I have not given up hope.

We have already elected a woman, a wonderful woman, president of these United States of America - Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.

[CalFione]

26. I think Warren's biggest mistake was cleaving too closely to Bernie's agenda

There's time to correct that mistake, and I hope she does. She needs to distinguish herself by highlighting her differences.


She has so much more to offer as a President than Bernie does, she needs to make the lines between them more obvious.

[blm]

33. Her Med4All plan was HERS and it didn't add burden to working families.

Biden, Buttigieg, and Klo insisted she was lying about that in the debate.

She wasn’t.

[wackadoo wabbit]

24. These tweets exactly represent what I feel, too

I was originally undecided between Sanders and Warren; but once it seemed that she might drop out, it clarified everything for me.

[krissey]

30. Strongest candidate hands down, in all ways.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

36. I think Warren is the best of the bunch.

They're all good (well, almost all), but she's the best for what is going on in our country. She has a plan and she can work with our House and soon-to-be our Senate.

[BlueMTexpat]

38. They speak for me too.

The anger runs deep, I'm afraid.

[MoonlitKnight]

39. It's the Wall Street money

And she is the reason Bloomberg is running.

[iscooterliberally]

40. I voted for her in 2012 at East Boston High.

I plan to do so again in Florida. She's electable. She won last time I voted for her, so at least we have that going for us!
