And if she started there you'd like her? I don't think anyone defended that crsp except for you. Sounds like you're still a little pissed about it, too.

Sen. Warren Exposing Liberal Sexism [View all] CrowCityDem Jun 2016 OP
Does make you wonder doesn't it? leftofcool Jun 2016 #1
I don't wonder anymore. Bobbie Jo Jun 2016 #90
Merkely endorsed Bernie....Elizabeth Warren never did. That is the difference. Not sexism. virtualobserver Jun 2016 #2
You're wrong. Merkely abandoned Sanders, which should be worse, but Warren gets slammed. Sexism. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #3
Please. Warren could have helped Bernie in many ways. Warren is a national figure. virtualobserver Jun 2016 #10
A woman staying neutral is worse than a man abandoning Sanders. How does that make sense? CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #12
That's what I thought, too. athena Jun 2016 #14
When it counted, Merkely was on board.Warren would have counted throughout the entire primary season virtualobserver Jun 2016 #15
'When it counted', Warren did what Bernie said all the SDs should have done. Do you now hate Bernie? CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #18
What I expected from Warren was for her to put her money where her mouth was. virtualobserver Jun 2016 #21
You dislike her because of your own projections, not anything she actually said. Nice. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #25
Warren said "the game is rigged"....she did not support Bernie, who wanted to change that. virtualobserver Jun 2016 #29
You imply staying neutral is as bad as endorsing the 'wrong' candidate. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #31
....Far worse if she had endorsed Hillary during the primaries... So No, I do not imply that virtualobserver Jun 2016 #32
How do you get mad at someone for NOT taking side, other than assuming it was owed to you? CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #36
She owes me nothing.....I just thought that she wanted to end the "rigged" system. virtualobserver Jun 2016 #37
Making an endorsement would have been taking part in the 'rigged' system. She let the voters decide. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #38
Warren knows what Clinton is standing on, she know Clinton is not all Sanders and supporters seabeyond Jun 2016 #46
What she believes is that Trump is far worse virtualobserver Jun 2016 #52

Nonsense, for most of us, Elizabeth Warren was our first choice for President. virtualobserver Jun 2016 #11
It's easy to support a woman in the hypothetical. athena Jun 2016 #13
Not hypothetical. Progressives were begging Warren to run. virtualobserver Jun 2016 #17
You mean "Bernie supporters", who are now saying they don't want her as VP. athena Jun 2016 #19
They don't want her as VP because it would be meaningless. virtualobserver Jun 2016 #23
Not many Bernie supporters believed that. Turin_C3PO Jun 2016 #24
yes, until she was actually running Florencenj2point0 Jun 2016 #78

Merkely is an obscure senator, Warren is a media darling. tritsofme Jun 2016 #41
This has nothing to do with SEXISM and everything to do with WALL STREET jillan Jun 2016 #47
Merkely just endorsed the 'Wall Steet candidate'. Where the hate for him? Why only the woman? CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #54
Because Merkley did not base his entire career ranting against Wall Street. There are clips jillan Jun 2016 #63
Flipping against Bernie isn't as bad as being neutral. That's logical. Lol. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #70
Because he actually put himself on the line and endorsed Bernie Armstead Jun 2016 #74
So it is about Bernie feeling entitled to her support. That's the only way it makes sense. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #77
You are claiming it is sexism. Armstead Jun 2016 #79
Demanding her fealty isn't. But only attacking her, not others in the same position, sure is. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #80
I just explained the difference Armstead Jun 2016 #82
It's illogical to say abandoning avowed support of Bernis isn't as bad as not supporting anyone. CrowCityDem Jun 2016 #88
You're getting off your own topic Armstead Jun 2016 #94
