I mean this is a pretty weird case of you assuming your opinion as fact despite this clearly being the difference of opinion between the libs and the left. Nobody I know on the left has ever considered Warren as left as Bernie, while I have seen libs try to claim she's lefter than she actually is, though I've never seen them claim her to be as left as Bernie till now.
And I'd like to think even Warren understand why people will always be a little pissed about her being a Republican during the aids crisis
How about this. She's actually my Senator in the state I live in, someone I've followed for years since I was able to first vote, which was in her first election in the Senate back in 2012. I've followed her achievements, votes, and views for years (obviously more so in the recent years given her re-election in 2018 and the 2020 race), and I've read up on her achievements with CFPB which is one of the most important consumer protection organizations and concepts that has been developed and was basically her brain child.
While I am a Warren fan, and I have reservations about her political instincts, the idea that I'm somehow not as aware of how "liberal" she is or "left leaning" because people who don't even live in the state she represents listen to other people who spew right wing bullshit because their "man" is the "only way" and by default is the "only solution" to
everything is fucking beyond annoying.
It's why I don't particularly care for what a lot of "leftists" say when they call Warren a "republican" when she's literally one of the most left leaning representatives in government, representing one of the most left leaning states in the country. The entire concept of being a "progressive" is changing over time. Who she was is clearly not what she believes now considering her crowning achievement is one of the most important consumer protection agencies that oversees the financial sector, said agency the GOP fucking
hates and Trump has been attempting to dismantle since he took office.
The fact is, "the left" really did like Warren for years. And while my exposure to leftist wasn't really a thing back before 2015, I never did hear much in terms of leftists shitting on Warren. It's only post "no endorsement" that this started, and only now that Sanders and Warren are opponents that the "well actually she's not really that left leaning and she's just status quo" shit people starting parroting like it's a pamphlet read.
I'm sure there are people here who are from MA who disagree with my readings. I'm fine with that, but I'm really tired of being lectured that Sanders is some sacred King when the reality is he's a 30 year career politician who's current rise to fame in 2020 has been promoting 100 trillion in spending with nobody giving him one bit of kickback for the simple fact there is no fucking reality in the multiverse where his agenda will see such a budget.
