Related: About this forumThe Best Reason to vote for Elizabeth Warren Tuesday
People here are saying Warren will be out after Super Tuesday. That might (or might not) be true. But you should vote for her anyway
1. If you want her to have any voice in the convention, she needs delegates. Warren needs your vote for her to gain delegates to sit in the platform committees that wired the 2020 Democratic Platform. Just a few will do to put her voice and ideas at the table.
If you were attracted to Warren for her ideas, this will get them heard. And hers are you the right ideas.
2. If you're trying to "stop Bernie", you want Warren to do as good as possible. About half of her support will go to Sanders when she leaves the race, according to a DU survey I did last week. (It's qualitative data, not quantitative data, but it's quite convincing. I'll post results and another thread tonight after I've finished looking at the numbers)
3. If you're concerned about Biden being a vulnerable candidate because of his establishment ties and opposition to expanding Medicare, then you want to give Elizabeth Warren more leverage in discussing our issues as she leaves the race. So again, voting for her now helps that cause.
4. Don't you want to give her at least one shot at beating the Bloomberg's numbers the only time they're on the ballot together?

Also to throw a block or two at Bloomberg should he decide to stay in.

I have decided to vote for Biden because he has the best chance to get 15%
The party listened to Warren when the senate was in Dem control and they will listen to her again

I really like Ms. Warren though; she has an outstanding mind, which, despite her age, is sharp, focused and fine tuned.

(7,538 posts)It's that simple. We are where we are today because no one put the Reagan administrations's lawbreakers in jail. We are where we are today because no one from Bush's administration went to jail for phony WMDs. This madness has to stop or we abandon the rule of law altogether.
