General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Elizabeth Warren Appreciation Thread [View all]merrily
(45,251 posts)meaning by "our," the people of Massachusetts. However, I do believe both of them try their best to represent the interests of Americans in general, as well the interests of Massachusetts in particular. (Markey is especially good on environment, as Kennedy was especially good on health centers and other affordable health care issues.)
Being America's Senator is a big job for any one or two or three people. So, the job for all of us is to get more Senators like Warren and Sanders elected and stop settling for excuses about why that can't possibly happen. Those excuses are simply falsehoods designed to get us to settle docilely.

Reject those excuses for what they are and get your own Warrens. While that is primarily your responsibility, Massachusetts is always happy to pitch in for leftists.
Meanwhile, if y'all want to glom onto one or more Senators that a really blue populace elects, I'll guess we in Massachusetts will just have to allow the rest of you to benefit from our resolve and our work. Sigh.
Notice: This entire post is sarcasm in style, but the sentiment about working to elect more Warrens is sincere and so is my offer to help.
