In the beginning, I thought that maybe #ElizabethWarren was a good alternative to #BernieSanders.
But the more I learned about her the more I became disappointed and realized that that the only choice is #BernieSanders2020.

- #ElizabethWarren was a Republican until the age of 46 (!). It took her over 25 years to find herself (sort of). In contrast, Bernie Sanders has been consistent about his advocacy for the people his entire career.

- #ElizabethWarren does not support single payer (i.e. Bernie Sanders' M4A Act of 2019); waffles & says there are "multiple pathways" & has said she wants to "get everybody at the table." (That is not a plan.) Her "plan" does not include the words "single payer."

-#ElizabethWarren just talks about "access to healthcare," which is code for "NOT Medicare For All."
She has been stockpiling "big money" from previous fund-raisers and is using a $10.4 million surplus from her 2018 Senate race to underwrite her 2020 bid. Hypocrisy.

- #ElizabethWarren did not endorse Bernie in 2016. Despite claiming to parallel Bernie's ideology, she stepped in line for the corrupt DNC because she thought that she had a chance at becoming Hillary Clinton's VP. Sorry, but that's greedy and self-serving.

- #ElizabethWarren lied. Repeatedly; claiming to be an American Indian, which landed her a position at Harvard as a "minority hire." Her falsified Texas Bar Assoc registration is in her own handwriting. Even submitted plagiarized recipes to a Native American cookbook.
