Of course Warren is a great champion of people's rights But Amy Klobuchar and Kamala Harris seem much more electable to me The Dems have to put forward the candidates that are most electable More progressive/liberal women are stepping up and running for office... I like that trend We've had enough of old white assholes like Orin Hatch and Donald fucking Trump

I agree with your picks. But what we prefer does not matter in this diverse country. We are an elite. It is a hard thing to own. Our candidates do not play well everywhere, even as some red states are shifting toward blue. Obama was a virtual outsider, just look at pictures of the old Senators. There is a reason that relatively unknown southern Governors like Carter and Clinton followed GOP administrations. Trump even received Democratic voters who were looking for a Washington outsider to "drain the swamp." They were THAT desperate for an outsider. Fools, with good intentions.
