This is how it's done.

A silent protest in Northampton turned into a private meeting with Warren, in which each protester got to speak to her, ask questions and get answers. Weak answers, but answers. Petition at link.

Weak answers is the understatement of the century. Ok, a bit OTT on my part. Stardust Jun 2016 #1

Have we all been duped by Sen. Warren? I signed the petition, but have little faith that it'll sway her to change her mind. She seems entrenched in her decision. Cabinet post, maybe?

Their respective positions demanded it. It's the difference between talking the talk and walking the walk. I'm done believing Elizabeth Warren.

ETA: Beautiful post. Thank you for a moving and heartfelt experience at the end of my participation in this forum. Maybe I'll see you at jackpineradicals. Maybe not. Not sure I want my heart broken again.

So Warren's convenient excuse doesn't hold water. She's not being honest.

Know what? "Trump" fear is ALL Hillary's got.

Her supporters know it, too.

The latter would only make Bernie and the rest of us look childish.

The dignity of powerful speeches and a massive show of silent protest if we don't win would make a far stronger impression on those present and the media.
