(45,319 posts)Republican who remained in that racist and homophobic Party through Reagan's vicious neglect of the growing AIDS crisis, she and her Party were silent as 30,000 Americans died, Liz paused only to vote for that shitty policy to continue. When asked to explain her positions from that time, she evades the brutality of her views by chirping that she was a Republican because she like their ideas about 'the markets'. So she was in a racist, homophobic anti choice Party of drug warriors because their fiscal policy served her own 1% class. And she sure made herself rich doing consultancy work for Big Corporations. But those fiscal policies which served her gutted the American middle class and destroyed Unions.
Warren was in the Republican Party when they had Pat Buchanan as keynote, bellowing about militant homosexuals and radical feminists. Warren was in that nasty Party when Hillary was standing with the LGBT community, being attacked by Republicans for supporting us. I'm not going to forget that to please some straight white person such as yourself.
Warren was a Reagan/Bush Republican when Bernie Sanders was founding the Progressive Caucus in the House. They are not the same person and they do not have the same history.
Warren has never bothered to address her past actions, nor to make amends for them, nor offer even one word of regret, so far she just says 'I got really rich so I did not care at all!!!!'
