why does it blow your mind that people are onboard with a candidate who has great policy positions with a legacy of concrete action to back it up?

warren was a progressive rockstar before most people even knew who bernie sanders was. the 'bernie wing' of the party was the 'warren wing' pre-2016 (except she actually helped progressives raise money and win elections nationwide). which is why bernie supporters were so thirsty for her endorsement. she had actual credibility and name cache that he lacked (even after a 30 years in congress).

lol @ her platform being a hybrid of sanders and steins when she actually conceived an agency from scratch from outside of politics that sanders or stein have only talked/dreamed of from inside politics.

shes actually done the stuff that theyve only screamed about in speeches lol.

its wild how the only people who really hate warren right now are republicans...and 'progressives' who claim to champion the policies she has been fighting for forever.

the same folks who put her on a pedestal pre-2016 based on an academic and political career of progressive advocacy are now treating her as some fraud or political appropriator.

and her only sin is not kissing the ring of saint bernard in 2016.

meanwhile those same folks stan for tulsi gabbard who has had a career in congress more conservative than joe manchin and only became 'progressive' in 2017 when she was thinking about a presidential run.
and they only like her because she endorsed bernie.

when you rearrange your principles based on the person and not the policy...its a damn personality cult fam.
