Re: What benefits does Warren have over Sanders?

[(Anonymous)]

I can’t speak for anyone else, but for me personally, part of the reason I support Warren over Sanders is that Sanders-or-bust voters, and his refusal to disavow and/or rebuke the worst of them, put me off him after the primaries last time.

I voted for Sanders in the primaries, and then, while I was disappointed he didn’t get the nom, I voted for Hillary in the general. On one of those “how closely do you agree with candidate so and so on their policy positions” websites, I’d gotten something in the 95% range for Sanders and 86% for Clinton. 86% is still pretty good. I was just barely too young to vote in the election that put Bush II in office, and short of the dem candidate eating a live puppy live on camera, I knew I’d vote for whoever won the primary, because ffs, the alternative was a conscienceless pustule on the body politic.

In the run up to and after the general election, I was shocked by how many people blamed the orange fucker’s win on Hillary and claimed that Sanders would’ve won, that he was cheated out of his rightful nomination, that America “deserved” the swamp king for daring to vote for evil Hillary over Sanders, etc. And now there’s still people claiming that if Sanders doesn’t win this round, it’s more evidence of some kind of secret cabal against him. If he’d vigorously supported Hillary from the second she got the nom and shut down the most poisonous parts of his fanclub, I’d respect him a lot more.

Warren espouses a lot of the same policy positions that led me to vote for Sanders in the primaries last time, but so far without the toxic fan club, with more awareness of issues outside class/economic inequality, and with at least thumbnail sketches of how to actually implement progressive policy. Plus I think the consumer financial protection bureau could be beefed up if she won the presidency, which would be awesome.
