Warren drops out of Democratic Primary
- Thread starter Mr.Awesome
- Start date
I don't think Bernie is winning, but if she can negotiate a spot in Bidens admin, she could help steer it more to the left.
3. Tulsi Gabbard claims another victim!
She is fucking off, whether or not she endorses Bernie Sanders.
We just going to ignore the opinion of millions of Democrats in this country?
Definitely could be the case.
I'd prefer her to endorse Bernie, not so that he's closer to the nom, but in hopes that it would cull Biden to some more progressive stances to win over some of the indifferent voters from Bernies camp (not necessarily the "Bernie Bros"). Anything to push Biden further to the left (but I'll vote blue no matter what).
Warren supporter here: This is insane. Endorse the person closest to you. There's a lot less to do to get Bernie to take a few of her plans on than there is to get Biden anywhere close to them. Also, Biden doesn't need her. He has the easy path right now. And there's bad blood between Warren and Biden, so he'd need to really need her to get over that. Bernie, on the other hand, is in need of a boost, and also, from the very start, Warren has been his only plausible VP pick. Anyone else would either be read as a sellout by his base, or would involve elevating some obscure backbencher who shares his politics, which would only heighten moderate concern that he's unserious. You can tell how fastidious the campaign has been in never directly attacking her, never directly pushing her to drop out (other than one, I'm guessing unsanctioned Ilhan Omar tweet). They went so far as to leak that their lawyers had confirmed they could make her VP and Secretary of the Treasury at the same time. They're prepared to give her virtually anything.
But no, some spite is worth throwing that out for. Yeah, Bernie knifed her. Yeah, he has some rude supporters. That's the game. Deal with it.
Democracy. Dems there should be represented within the party regardless of how their overall state leans during the general. The convention and choice of nominee also greatly determines the party platform which affects all down ballot candidates that are much more viable in these Red states compared to the Presidential candidates.
Please pay no mind to all the states that run caucuses instead of primaries or to the existence of Super Delegates though.
Tell us how you really feel. Not enough people on Era has told Bernie-supporters yet that everything is his fault and he is not owed anything.
She was the best person for the job.
Hope she stays in the senate but losing your home state makes you look pretty vulnerable to a challenge... Give her AG or Treasury, Biden.

Unfortunately 😕
She will (hopefully immediately).
She lost a lot of the purist voters early as they went to Bernie. Now would have been a good time to move to the center but she went way too early. As you can see some of the comments in the other thread were essentially "F her if she doesn't endorse Bernie".
It should at least be decriminalized with records expunged considering how many people of color and those of lesser means end up with bogus sentences. Not sure why that isn't also a fair concern as well unless you were specifically trying to be dismissive to that poster.
Endorsement is a toss up, honestly. Her staff, ex-Kamala and ex-Hillary, is definitely pro-Biden.
?
I didn't say anything about Bernie supporters. My point was that attacking the only other remaining progressive in the race like the post I quoted is not productive.
I think getting something in exchange from the eventual nominee that also results in a quicker unification of the Dem party is worth more than endorsing Bernie, who is at this point largely done.
That's my take. Yea, she is closer to Bernie in policy. But this is politics.
Voted for her and it sucks but the support she was able to generate gives me hope that progressives are still out there and there are Americans who will support a woman in the WH...one day.
I'm in the same boat but I'm kinda hoping she goes Biden just because i think he's more electable and she'd push him more left as a concession.
Sad but not unexpected. I wish she could have caught on in a more durable way.
This is probably her best move.
The ultimate heel turn
lol. My feelings exactly.
Warren was my favorite in this race. I think she had the best policies, they were economically sound and scientifically backed (taxation + climate plan). Not sure where the hate for her came from, she was the only candidate that appeared to actually have a pragmatic solution to America's troubles. Sad to see her go.
don't worry,as a Warren supporter i'll be voting for Biden either way
Bernie better be begging for her endorsement. She aligns with him the most and they're friends, but Warren is pragmatic and has her eye on the bottom line. If she genuinely believes Biden can beat Trump and Bernie can't, then Bernie fans are in for disappointment.
I can't wait until she endorses Bernie and Biden's numbers go up and people scramble to try and say it's because she waited too long or that her endorsement wasn't endorsing enough.
Warren takes voters away from Biden, not Bernie.
Warren takes voters away from Biden, not Bernie.
This is my take as well. She'll endorse whoever the winner is but no sooner. I must say I would love to see her endorse Biden for the drama alone lol.
Voting right to own the progressives as a progressive: the ultimate trump card.
As David Feldman says: "I am a big bernie bro, but if someone was mean to Warren online, maybe then healthcare is not a fundamental human right." He was trolling.
