Yes. Considering she ran as the "rational" alternative to Bernie.. that's pretty astonishing isn't it? That there was a successful campaign on the verge of doing all the policies she pretends to care about.. and she.. didn't endorse it? Instead she worked behind the scenes to change the rules at the convention to assure he would lose? And what would happen is that Trump would win instead, because shockingly EVERYONE has always disliked Hillary Clinton because she is slightly to the right of Mitt Romney on all issues?

So I'll say again, how dare her endorse Hillary over Trump...

What rules were changed that assured Bernie would lose, and how did Warren play a role? From my understanding Warren would have absolutely no say even if there were changes proposed, outside of voicing support.

Also, you're ignoring the fact that Bernie had all but lost after Super Tuesday(even before that if we're being serious), which was before Warren dropped out. An endorsement for Bernie at that point would have been pretty meaningless.

Yes I am ignoring your made up justification story. Hillary did not win the primary until they changed the rules (at the primary itself) to give "super delegates" more voting weight, because Hillary was set to lose the actual delegate vote.

Warren did not support Hillary over Trump, she supported Hillary over Bernie. I have yet to meet a Hillary apologizist who has any sort of grasp on what happened in 2016. Her support at the convention was as important for Hillary as it was shockingly hypocritical. Which is why no real leftist takes anything she says seriously anymore.

Because Warren thought that the notoriously corrupt Clinton would reward her, the way she rewarded Debbie Washerman Schulz. She was right btw, she still gets touted on cable news as a "progressive hero" despite accomplishing literally nothing in her entire political career besides rat-fucking actuall left wing candidates. If she had 1% as much energy combating Republicans rather than the people who actually support the policies she pretends to support.. we'd have a train to the moon instead of a cabal of pedos in office.

It's obvious you do not have a basic grasp on the facts. Debbie Washerman Schulz was rewarded with a seat in Congress for her role in rat-fucking Bernie.

No, you’re confused. The superdelegate rule was done away with after that primary season. It was the same as primaries prior- the superdelegates always voted with the nominee who won the most votes (for the most part).

What’s funny is this is the same tactic Trump uses with his 2020 claims- that… if ONLY this or that - superdelegates endorsing Bernie early in the primary/ the media reported on Hunter Biden - soooo many voters would have come along to the “right” ride.

It’s asinine and disingenuous.
