Elizabeth Warren would have bern the best President America has ever had

Too bad she was hampered by Clinton consultants and vile misogynistic Bernie bros

There's some good ideas here but the old people need to work behind the scenes and let a new generation (people in their forties and fifties, which isn't exactly the Tik Tok crowd) be out front. Elizabeth Warren is 75 years old. She will be over 80 at the end of the term she just won. She has been out front long enough. She has value, but it isn't on the front line.

Wrong. Betty White would have bern better. (If she was still alive)

by Anonymousreply 2November 8, 2024 3:36 PM

Even deceased, Betty White would still be better than what we are going to have on January 20, 2025.

she's still a great senator

Can’t you say DEAD, R3?

Bernie Sanders would have bern better than any of the berns

by Anonymousreply 6November 8, 2024 4:23 PM

The establishment wanted the 2020!primary to come down to Warren vs Biden with Warren winning. They tried very hard to make her happen. It's nobody's fault but her own that she didn't.

Bernie Sanders can’t even caucus with the democrats or get a bill passed. He can criticize democrats and an inspire a cult following though.

I only know Elizabeth Warren from the Kate McKinnon sketch and her desire to have a trans kid pick her education secretary.

Bernie Sanders will never own to his shit. The Bernie Bro twat followers continue to shit all over "middle of the road Democrats". Far left progressives never called out like the far right MAGA twats do. In my opinion, far left progressives like Bernie and Alexandria Ocasio Cortez should have been at any of the Harris rallies. AOC should be removed as the Democratic female poster girl. The Dems need to focus on promoting moderate Democratic women like Elissa Slotkin and not fucking AOC.

No she wouldn’t.

Where’s the video of her announcing her run for Presidency while drinking a beer?

by Anonymousreply 13November 8, 2024 6:33 PM

Oh here it is!

“Hold on a second, I’m gonna get me a beer!”

I think this was before Hillary said she carried hot sauce in her bag like Beyoncé on a black radio station.

Please stop with this idea that a woman - especially a Democratic woman - can be elected president.

by Anonymousreply 15November 8, 2024 6:43 PM

I have wondered if southern Democratic Ann Richards type could ever be elected POTUS.

by Anonymousreply 16November 8, 2024 6:43 PM

I agree with all the Bernie trashing, I was just making fun of OP's misspelling.

Please forgive me!

by Anonymousreply 17November 8, 2024 6:52 PM

Are you INSANE, OP?

by Anonymousreply 18November 9, 2024 5:50 AM

I think Warren should DEFINITELY be in the ear of the next Dem POTUS nominee. She is incredibly effective at speaking about issues that affect the working class in a relatable, direct way. And, as much as I love Bernie, I think she, unlike him, knows how to add some poetry/emotion to that populism, she knows how to take it from policy to personal. She's too old, of course. And, I'm afraid as much as I value diversity, I agree that we need a white man (probably from the upper midwest or the south) next time. Only Left-Populism is going to triumph over Right-Populism.

But, yes, I really hope that, of the established Dem voices, it is hers (much more than the Clintons, Obamas and Bidens) that is listened to.

NO MORE WOMEN!!!

by Anonymousreply 20November 9, 2024 12:38 PM

The first woman president will be a Republican. The current class of republican will never vote for a woman Democrat.

by Anonymousreply 21November 9, 2024 1:41 PM

The "current class of republican" - dominated by straight white bros - will never nominate a woman, R21.

Elizabeth Warren is smart and policy driven. She would have made a good President; however, she would have zero chance of being elected. Too liberal.

by Anonymousreply 23November 9, 2024 2:04 PM

I always think of wine caves when I see her and chuckle 😂

And too annoying. She's closing in on eighty and she's still that idiot in class who puts her hand up to answer the question every fucking time.

Does anyone actually believe Warren could've beaten Trump in '20? In hindsight, we should've nominated her. Trump would now be leaving office a deeply unpopular president.

by Anonymousreply 26November 9, 2024 2:41 PM

I just wish Democrats would take the rhetoric of Warren and Sanders and AOC and all the progressives and turn into actionable proposals, described in plain language that frames outcomes, benefits and results. Give people something to remember and think about, rather than leaving them with an impression of somebody who wants to spend your tax money on somebody else.

America is not a country that shares easily. OK. Deal with that reality and talk in terms it can hear. Skip the lectures on morality and decency. You've got the wrong country.

by Anonymousreply 27November 9, 2024 2:42 PM

I love her. She's the only politician I ever gave money to. Too bad everyone hated her because she reminded them of a "schoolmarm." Even you guys at DL said that.

WTF do people want? She was a law professor at Harvard, FFS!! Of course she came off like an educator! Americans are so fucking superficial. And they don't like a woman scolding them even when they need to be scolded.

Now that Mr. Orange is going to be our president, a mere scolding is going to seem like foreplay...

R27, that's what Hillary did and people didn't respond to it - too much detail

Her favorite word is “billionaire”.

by Anonymousreply 32November 9, 2024 7:45 PM

She begins ever sentence with the word “so,” like it’s 2012.

by Anonymousreply 33November 9, 2024 9:31 PM

I agree, OP, she might have been what we needed.

Unfortunately, none of the people who rule things now (corporate influences) would want her in charge, because she IS a reformist.

Her lack of knowledge about her heritage was a dumb mistake, but Trump & Co. made a point of repeating the Pocahantas thing over and over to make sure they put a huge crack in her credibility. They didn't do that because they were bored.....they did that to disable any sort of meaningful reform.

I think she should have just leaned into the schoolmarm thing, which is what she was.

When she did this beer-drinking Instagram, it was so phoney, it was a turnoff, IMO.

My senator. I was honored to vote for her here once again in Massachusetts, and she won again, and I am very grateful. I trust the fucking shit out of her. I am so grateful to live in a blue state.

R24 Fuck literally ALL the way OFF. You are a nothing person. You are an impotent freak. Your cynicism will not keep your warm at night. Enjoy spooning with Mother and giving her her diabetes medications.
