I just read the most demoralizing comment from a friend...

"I don't see Warren or her supporters putting forth that improving the lives of people worse off than them is the (or even a) reason to vote for her."

I thought this was so fundamental to everything she's doing that it didn't need to be said.

WARREN'S ENTIRE VISION WILL MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR PEOPLE WORSE OFF THAN ME. IT'S A FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPAL TO ALL SHE IS DOING.

When she talks about HEALTH CARE she's talking about making things better for people worse off than me.

When she talks about WEATH AND INCOME INEQUALITY she's talking about making things better. for people worse than me.

When she talks about CANCELLING STUDENT DEBT she's talking about making things better for people worse off than me.

When she talks about CLIMATE CHANGE she's talking about making things better for people worse off than me.

When she talks about GOVERNMENT AND WALL STREET corruption, she's talking about making things better for people worse of than me.

When she talks about ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, IMMIGRATION reform, CRIMINAL JUSTICE reform and RECOGNIZING WHITE SUPREMACY AS A TERRORIST THREAT she's absolutely talking about making things better for people worse off than me.

I've had my struggles. I've watched others struggle. I've watched some lose altogether.

In all honesty, I don't need her help. I just happen to believe in making the world a better, more just place.

WHY THE FUCK ELSE WOULD I BE SUPPORTING HER?

Look at all the civil/equal rights struggles we've had--women, people of color, LGBTQ+, different religions--you name it. White, straight males love the status quo because they're erroneously afraid that if someone else gains rights, they lose some of theirs. The entire time they run resistance on equality, they call themselves "Christian".

These macho men are wetting themselves thinking they'll have to play well with others. It would be funny if it weren't so sad.
