I was thinking about Elizabeth Warren just now for some reason, and I kinda think she would be an excellent 2020 president because of her ability to just straight up understand shit and propose policy. At a time when our Democratic institutions seem to be failing, someone who specifically can "properly patch up the dam" so to speak may be the best choice.
Elizabeth Warren's problem is that she is far better at
doing the job than
looking like she can do it. She's that ideal candidate that every HR twit would wave at in favor of an unqualified greasy-haired jackass with a creepy grin and a sign saying "TODAY'S SPECIAL OFFER!", and thus the hiring manager would never hear of her because she wouldn't get past the vetting by idiots.
As a Senator she underperforms
in Massachusetts where the electorate breaks 3:1 in favor of Dem Presidential candidates and she doesn't have to contend with hordes of trolls and lobbyists spending thousands of hours and billions of dollars to radicalize the country against her. She is arguably the best damn policymaker in the Beltway yet she is nigh unelectable anywhere except her home state. I predict she will not be competitive because Americans are terrible and stupid and will decide her candidacy based on everything
but her record. In short, America won't vote for her, because she's far better than America deserves.
