“Right-wing billionaires hoped an obscure legal case would blow up the tax code to avoid paying what they owe, but this effort failed,” said the Democratic senator after the **Moore v. United States decision.

    She didn’t just attempt things. She accomplished things. You would not have a CFPB without her. I don’t know any politician, progressive or otherwise, that always wins.

    You don’t trust her because she wanted to win a presidential primary, didn’t, and had a shitty response to it? Jesus man, everyone’s a fake progressive by your standard.

    You know Bernie endorsed Biden too, right? He wasn’t going to win. He never had a chance at winning with the way the DNC works. Yeah, it’d be nice if that wasn’t true, but unfortunately it is.

    I’d recommend you dial back the purity testing a bit or you’ll end up staying home.

      No, that’s not what I said or what happened.

      She lied to play on a damaging trope made up by conservatives and right-wing media and then, even when she had lost, endorsed a far right zionist (you know, the guy whos sending our tax dollars to fund a genocide at this very moment) rather than Sanders when those were the only two options. I don’t care if she did it because she was a sore loser, that makes it worse, not better.

      Elizabeth Warren has accomplished alot for sure, sabotaging progressives during both election cycles is one of her biggest and most wide-reaching accomplishments. Name checking a piece of legislation that was passed 20 years ago before she was even an elected official isn’t exactly the great testament to her record.

      I don’t trust Warren because she’s been corrupted. I don’t care if a person used to give soup to orphans, that doesn’t erase their willingness to later support someone who murders orphans. A senator doing the basics of the job they were elected to do does not give them license or leeway to sabotage the progressive agenda, once someone does that the trust is destroyed and can’t be rebuilt with any amount of speeches and rhetoric.

        You have no idea what happened. No one who isn’t Sanders or Warren knows what was said in that meeting, and I frankly doubt either of them remembers it either. There’s a reason eye-witness testimony is some of the most inaccurate evidence out there regardless of how sure you feel about it.

        There is no proof in one person saying something happened and another saying it didn’t. You have no evidence that she lied about anything. Frankly it’s astounding how sure you feel about things no one has any evidence for, least of all you.

        The only thing you seem to have is a completely warped view of her legislative history, but I don’t think I can get you to see reality. Good luck out there.

          And I suppose there’s nothing I can do to make you understand that she was the lynch pin in ensuring progressives lost the 2020 primary using the same neoliberal playbook they implement every primary. Good luck out there.
