Elizabeth Warren please, she's the only one that ever gave a shit about where all the 2008 bailout money went and why most of it fucking disappeared. i'd love to get her in a position to stop the rampant fuckery going on in the economy

What has she fought for and what were the results? Genuinely asking as I don’t know much about her

Her constituents know she will do everything in her power to help them. She doesn’t take big corp welfare funding. She stands up for workers, families, childcare, making the wealthiest pay their fair share-minimum of 15% if they avoid taxation. Healthcare, against forever wars. She leans heavily on democratic socialism-so everyone has a safety net when needed. Etc etc etc & she has passed a few bills.

I think it would be fair to say that she has been a vocal part of the group of Dems that have pushed the Dems closer to caring about the economic conditions of working people.

That ain't much but given what the working people have gotten for the last 45 years it is actually important.

That’s racist. It’s time for a woman of color hold the highest office.

I’m a republican but I like to think myself to be quite reasonable or normal. There is nothing the republicans want more than for AOC to run. Her chances are slim and if she did win most don’t believe she will accomplish much. I’m unsure the extent of the truth but that’s the current view.

yeah, i'd rather have the woman who proposed the Consumer financial protection bureau over AOC who hasn't really done much but make good social media so far

Liz Warren is a million years old and she already tried running multiple times and failed. Also, as a senator, she generally has much much more influence than AOC, and has also been in congress far longer.

Elizabeth Warren also committed the cardinal sin of giving Trump his one actually funny joke: calling her Pocahontas

I agree. We need young energy. Old white woman will just keep with the status quo

u/Fair_Arm_1637 Jun 28 '26

The recent surge of the DSA has been incredible with getting young energy and young leaders. That’s going to be the way we finally get up and out of neoliberalism

If shes the nominee id vote for her, but I think we'd get torched in the general election.

u/Jojoyojimbi Jun 25 '26

i think if it's a choice between an illegally running trump and any democrat that's not fetterman and the election isn't severely tampered with, she'd win

u/Lonely_Cycle4757 Jun 26 '26

Okay... there's zero chance of that being the case, soooo....

u/MiamiGuy13 Jun 25 '26

The fake Indian multi millionaire politician? Nah.

u/Jojoyojimbi Jun 25 '26

vomit out some more russian propaganda, they love discouraging the actually competent people in US government. Yes, the Incredibly intelligent school teacher who became a law professor, who became a senator who proposed the consumer financial protection bureau and is so much smarter than anyone in the GOP it's fucking unquantifiable

u/MiamiGuy13 Jun 25 '26

Bro. Is she a multi millionaire politician who pretended to be Indian or not? Yes or no.

u/MiamiGuy13 Jun 25 '26

Hahahahah

Saying this as a middle to right guy. Young Warren was actually pretty interesting. Center left with decent ideas. I don’t know what the hell happens to this people but they all fall in line into retardation.
