        So, as a former Warren supporter (was leftist at the time just thought she Wonked better than Bernie and so could get "healthcare plz" at least, along with the wealth tax) someone successfully spread the belief among Warren-stans that Bernie is sexist and announced his run after her to keep a woman from becoming president and other such nonsense. They honestly (if bafflingly) believe Bernie is "the patriarchy" and hostile, but then libbrain makes them oppose Trump and so Biden it is.

          ...Was this before or after her kicking the can down the road for M4A? Legit asking, no shade.

            Before, she lost my support long before she dropped out as soon as she started being more dem and less progressive.

      There's a lot of libs going left, they're just not extremely prominent.

      It’s kinda telling that it’s like… just the two of them.

      It's not surprising that there are only two blue checks who've evolved like that -- the money and career opportunities are all in not evolving an inch beyond Democratic party orthodoxy. Hopefully those two are a sign that libs with less to lose from going left are doing so in significant numbers.
