Elizabeth #Warren has just proven she cannot unify the Democratic party.

For those not aware, she attacked Senator #Sanders directly today by reviving smears from the 2016 primary and recast herself in the performative victim role of Hillary Clinton that we all found so

very endearing. This is the first time either Warren or Sanders attacked each other directly and given the desperation one might expect with her declining numbers, it was Warren who launched the grenade. She used an unverified and heavily disputed report of a lower level

volunteer canvassing script that distinguished her GE electoral coalition as "affluent and highly educated" to claim that Bernie was sending volunteers to "trash" her. Quite a stretch. She then launched into a nervously delivered pathetic 2-minute long monologue

excerpted above that feigned sanctimony while, ironically, also attacked Peter Buttigieg's notorious struggles with African Americans by inference ("We cannot nominate someone who takes big chunks of the Democratic nomination for granted.") The hypocrisy speaks for

itself. Elizabeth Warren has arguably run the most negative campaign this cycle; only Pete rivals it. She implied Joe Biden was a Republican. She waged war on Biden's and Buttigieg's fundraisers. She attacked Buttigieg for his work at McKinsey. She initiated the

infamous wine cave assault that has defined him since.

All of these issues were legitimate to raise but it is appalling for her to pretend she's running a positive campaign or is somehow above reproach when she does so. Less excusably,

Elizabeth Warren's campaign outraged progressives when it apparently purchased the Working Families Parties endorsement away from Sanders with a $45,000 donation from her daughter's firm and demonized people who called for transparency.

One of her paid surrogates was

exposed for the gutter-level racist & homophobic tweets below and rather than taking accountability for the actions, Warren swept the controversy under the rug and did not apologize or fire her.

Her latest high profile surrogate, Julian Castro, attacked both Biden and Sanders repeatedly this weekend. He's also insulted Joe Biden's mental state publicly, Beto O'Rourke's knowledge, and ravaged Pete Buttigieg more viciously than anyone else.

Yet when

an unverified low level canvasser script appears pointing out contrasts in the electability coalitions of each of the Top 4 candidates, Warren runs to the press, claims that she's being "trashed" and opens up the ugliest wounds from the 2016 primary.

Maybe she's so out

of touch that she didn't realize most Americans stopped taking feigned outrage seriously years ago. Almost everyone can see through it and finds it detestable. Good luck getting anyone in Michigan or Pennsylvania to care about someone calling your coalition "highly

educated and affluent" when we have a man in office that made "Grab 'Em By the Pu@&*" a presidential quote.

Warren's desperate last-ditch attempt to bolster her failing campaign by tapping into the radioactive mythology of dedicated Bernie hate shows
(12/18)
she is a divider, not a uniter. She has tried being everything to everyone and ended up being nothing.

I've previously been openminded to the idea of a potential coalition needed between Sanders and Warren delegates in case the corporatists combine their own. I still
(13/18)
think that is a reasonable threat to identify but I no longer trust Warren to assist in any way. She is 100% Establishment and self-advancing, borderline unprincipled.

There is no coalition now that she has declared open warfare on us by aligning with the seething
(14/18)
hatred we experience from "donut" Twitter and ossified #StillWithHer types.

I had Elizabeth Warren as a #2 and someone I could still be somewhat positive about, but she is now down in the gutter. I can't canvas, phone bank, or evangelize friends for her in the event

that she somehow becomes nominee.

Warren fails to understand how much of a basic psychological wound she inflicts her embrace of the hateful anti-Bernie ideology that paints both him and US, his supporters, as subhuman. That reflects terrible judgment.
(16/18)
And her doing so reflects even worse political instincts. I am disgusted with her and I was one of her most forgiving. Now, I'm not in alliance with whatever it is her fans naively believe they're "fighting" for. If you have to trample over the movement candidate with

the largest multiracial working class coalition the country's seen in decades to get there, there's something indecently wrong with the campaign. Who even knows what she stands for anymore. #WhichWarren?

Hillary with High Cheekbones?

No thanks.

Not a unifier.
