1. Long thread. Content warning: rape, suicide, torture.
YOU BETRAYED #WARREN, YOU BETRAYED ME, YOU BETRAYED ALL OF US
Highly educated colleagues who supported Sanders instead of Warren: you betrayed me.

2. The evidence that Sanders attracted and energized fake-left and pseudo-left segments, such as Trotskysts, marginal opportunists who blabber old Trostkyst mottos like "social democrats (or liberals, in the US) are the same as fascists" should be enough.
3. You have obtained the same Ph.D. as me. You should have known.
However, you have not been a clandestine militant on the hard left since 15 yrs old like me (1977-78). You have not been pinned down as you yelled "NO" while a "comrade" fucked you over and over again.

Dear @ewarren, when I tell the story of your presidential campaign to all the children in my life (which I will), here's some of what I'll share about why we should all be saying #ThankYouElizabethWarren . . . . (1/8)
You put up front & made visible what women, especially working class women, usually do quietly: we figure out what must be done - no matter how impossible it seems - and figure out a way to do it; we help people see the plan -- the way to make the impossible, possible. (2/8)
You put critically important, yet invisible women--domestic workers--on stage & at the center of your solutions. Your historic speech in GA on Black domestic workers & their courageous organizing lifted up generations of leadership that our kids deserve to know about (3/8)
We’re long overdue for a female president, and Elizabeth Warren is the ideal candidate: a teacher, a listener, a comforter, a defender, an innovator, a tireless worker, and probably the sharpest mind presently in American politics. (1)
It’s disappointing, and quite frankly scary, that more Americans, especially those of us that call ourselves progressives, weren’t able to recognize or acknowledge what a uniquely capable candidate we had. (2)
The silver lining is that @ewarren’s selfless dedication to progressivism (and extraordinary attention to detail) means that her plans to rectify the current disaster are readily available, even if she won’t be the one signing the bills into law (3)
