Sanders supporters call on Warren to drop out

#WARRENENDORSEBERNIE Trends as Sanders Supporters Urge Warren to Drop Out and Endorse Her Fellow Progressive

The hashtag #WarrenEndorseBernie began trending on Twitter across the United States on Monday afternoon as supporters of Senator Bernie Sanders urged his 2020 rival Senator Elizabeth Warren to drop out and gather the progressive vote by backing Sanders.

It comes shortly after Senator Amy Klobuchar and former South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg announced their decision to end their presidential bids. Both candidates are expected to back former Vice President Joe Biden, who now appears to be the candidate that most moderates will coalesce around for the 2020 Democratic nomination. ...

Tens of thousands of Sanders supporters took to Twitter to encourage Warren to leave the race and back her progressive colleague. Some argue that Warren and Sanders have crossover in policy and a Warren endorsement would allow Sanders a fighting chance against Biden. As of Monday afternoon, #WarrenEndorseBernie rose to the top trending topic on the social media platform in the United States. At the time of publication, the hashtag had garnered more than 35,000 tweets.

"Hey @ewarren, I'm going to be real with you, you're not going to win the nomination at a contested convention. We need you. Bernie needs you. Try to make amends for the damage you've already caused. Please drop out and endorse Bernie," user @yesthatCarlo tweeted.

1. LOL -- "try to make amends for the damage you've already caused" ?!?

Screw these people.

[tarheelsunc]

2. It's blatantly hypocrisy, which seems to be all that campaign knows. eom

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

4. Arrogant bunch, aren't they?

[Codeine]

11. I'm just surprised they used Warren's name

in their hashtag, and not the snake emoji they usually choose.

[LisaM]

5. Yeah, I know! That's EXACTLY what caught my eye.

WTF is their problem?

[PatSeg]

6. Seriously?

What damage did Warren cause? How rude. Maybe if Bernie hadn't run, Warren would have done better.

[Jane Austin]

21. This!

That's exactly what I've been thinking.

If Bernie hadn't run again, I think Warren could have won this for progressives.

[PatSeg]

23. I think she could have done really well

Maybe right now it would be Warren vs Biden!

[AllyCat]

3. Formerly for Pete. I'm now for Warren

I always sat on the fence anyway. Warren holds policy positions closest to my own beliefs. And is a Democrat not trying to undermine Democrats.

[Mister Ed]

7. "Try to make amends for the damage you've already caused".

Well. If that doesn't charm her, she must have a heart of stone.

[denem]

12. "If that doesn't charm her, she must have a heart of stone"

[LisaM]

14. LOL.

What they fail to actually grasp is how much all the candidates agree on larger policy. Everyone wants better healthcare, I'd even say single payer of some type, everyone wants the wealthy to pay more in taxes, everyone wants the middle class to succeed, everyone is on board with doing something about climate change.

[honest.abe]

8. I seriously doubt Warren ever endorses Sanders.

Too much bad blood there and its only getting worse.

[Codeine]

9. "Try to make amends for the damage you've already caused"

You sweet talker!

[BeyondGeography]

13. "And maybe, just maybe, we won't primary you."

Friggin loons.

[peggysue2]

24. That's definitely the line that jumps out

Guess these people never heard that honey works better than vinegar. Talk about holding a grudge! Warren had the audacity to disagree with Sanders. In public, no less. And now she has the audacity to keep running against the wishes of the Berners.

Hummmm. Maybe that means Elizabeth Warren intends to use her own instincts and not be bullied. Might want to recall Warren's tag line:

Nevertheless, she persisted.

Read it again, boys. And weep.

[zackymilly]

10. I call on Sanders to release his medical records. n/t

[Vivienne235729]

15. Try to make amends for the damage you've caused?!?!!?! You've GotToBeShittinMe

This is unhinged and totally deranged. Smdh....these people need to get outside and get some fresh air. Wow....

[dflprincess]

16. I supported Bernie in 2016

And I will "vote blue no matter who" but Bernie and his supporters are not making it easy.

[Jane Austin]

22. Same here.

I didn't hear a big clamor for Bernie to run this year.

[blm]

29. ✔️

[Dopers_Greed]

17. They are only cementing my vote for Warren on Super Tuesday

[Turin_C3PO]

18. Have they ever considered

that Bernie may be blocking Warren? Why not Sanders drop out and endorse Warren?

[George II]

20. Are these the same ones who were saying #primarywarren just a day or two ago?

[eissa]

25. Liz needs to stay in

We are now stuck with the “my turn” candidate (like Dole, McCain and Clinton) with little voter enthusiasm, especially from young/progressives, and the socialist hated by the establishment who could hurt down-ticket candidates. Warren is the perfect compromise: a progressive with an impeccable record of accomplishments, who gets along with moderates and party establishment. She’s brilliant and fearless and would make an amazing president.

[StevieM]

26. "Try to make amends for the damage you've already caused."

Condescending jerk.

For those of you who wonder why some people insist that there is a problem with sexism towards women in politics, this is why.

[Pachamama]

27. Surprised that they aren't adding that a woman can't win...

[blm]

28. Eff you Carlo. Do something about the real damage you assholes do every day.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

30. No. Warren gets things done. BS doesn't

[dlk]

31. Who can forget the snake emojis?

Be a good girl and drop out, and on your way out the door please give your support to our guy. Nothing sexist about the Bernie supporters...

[kwenu]

32. Did Bernie take ownership of implying that Warren lied about him on national TV?

That was one conversation that sealed it for me that it can't be Bernie. I believe Warren's claims about Bernie saying "a woman can't get elected,"

And Bernie's first response when confronted was not to apologize and take ownership of his fault but rather to try to make up a grievance about Warren as if to say "Well, so what, you did such and such a thing!" But, he couldn't so he ended and said we'll talk later.

Warren doesn't owe Bernie a damn thing.

[Happyhippychick]

33. I hope she stays in just to spite them

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

34. Saw that earlier today

They've been pretty nasty about it.

[MoonlitKnight]

35. Donate Persistently

So she can knock out Bernie next.

[ehrnst]

36. No wonder Sanders is so testy about Klobuchar and Biden doing it....

first.
