I'm not done posting about #ElizabethWarren. From the Lever article, she

  • Fought Senator Biden’s bankruptcy bill
  • Created a new financial regulatory agency that Obama blocked her from leading
  • Blocked Obama’s "revolving door" nomination for a top Treasury position
  • Fought against legislation (championed by Obama) gutting financial regulations & campaign finance laws

I'm old enough to remember that, long before the 2016 presidential race, she was also on the receiving end of Hillary Clinton's flipflop on a major national economic issue after HRC presumably had some visits from lobbyists.

Warren needs to be in charge of something big and national and economic.

@guyjantic @roknrol Notice how Dem leadership sidelines anyone who wants to do something big, national, and economic. Or frankly anything that would protect consumers from corporations.

Until the Democratic Party COMPLETLY renounces Wall Street and stops taking their money, nothing will change.

@aburtch @guyjantic @roknrol Yes. Liz Warren is a perfect example of how one's career is limited, not necessarily ruined, when they poke the Wall St bear.

It's a huge deal. It makes them all useless with regard to e.g. healthcare policy.

May Hillary's good soul rest in peace.

@aburtch @roknrol "May Hillary's good soul rest in peace."

I don't know if this was supposed to make me laugh in a sad way, but it did.
