What might have been

President Warren

Elizabeth Warren called an end to her Presidential bid today, and I can honestly say I haven't been this disappointed in the Presidential nomination process since it became obvious that Ted Kennedy couldn't topple President Jimmy Carter in 1980.  Through the course of my following politics, I've wondered how much better off America would be had Al Gore won in 2000, had John Kerry won in 2004, and most certainly had Hillary Clinton won in 2016, but I will always believe that Elizabeth Warren would have transformed America into the country that so many of us on the left have always believed it could be, and thus her withdrawal is all the more tragic.

I believe history will record our failure to nominate our best candidate as an opportunity lost to fear and will be one that once again ordinary Americans will pay for in poorer health, poorer wages, and above all, in more lost hope.

For me, defeating Donald Trump isn't going to be enough.  We need to begin reversing the downward spiral in economic well being, equal rights, income inequality, and climate change that began with that idiot Ronald Reagan and continues through another idiot, Donald Trump.

Elizabeth Warren had a plan for all of those, and sadly now we will never know how far she could have taken us.

Fuck Donald Trump,
