Very disheartening to see a rallying towards Biden...

It feels like a desperate clinging to traditional white patriarchy when I thought we were moving past that with more progressive humanitarian candidates like Warren and Sanders 😞

So incredibly frustrated with the lack of pragmatism among progressives throughout the primary season. Ineffectual.

I've found this entire election cycle to be so frustrating. I wish the DNC would institute a single-day primary election day with Ranked Choice Voting. It would help us not have to freak out so much about how to play the "electibility" game. I've also found their debates to be horrible and near useless. AOC recommended in a tweet that they have topic-based debates hosted by experts on the topics--one for immigration, one for climate change, one for education, etc. That would be so much more informative and dig into policies better than whatever the media circus that it is now.

But to your question -- I absolutely adore Warren. She's an incredible person, always fighting and winning for the little guy. She has such a great grasp on the deeper issues that need to be fixed to get the country back to working for everyone. Every time I listen to her speak, I'm inspired and encouraged to get back in there and that change is possible. I'm infuriated that the DNC and media continually count her out. Regardless, I have been wanting to vote for her for President since 2016 and I'm proud that I did that today in the Colorado primary. We'll see what happens next, eh?
