Elizabeth Warren Appreciation Thread

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Thank you for the issues you brought to the forefront.

[hlthe2b]

1. Posted elsewhere, but I'm going to copy it here. May Bailey restore her for the long fight ahead!

[LymphocyteLover]

46. So sweet-- I just read a couple of days ago how Bailey is named after George Bailey

from "It's a Wonderful Life"-- so awesome

[hlthe2b]

48. How nice... She and I would be sympatico on this and nearly all things.

[llmart]

78. Yeah, me too.

She's the same age as I am, and I once had a golden named Bailey!

[BeckyDem]

2. I wanted so much for her to win

[eleny]

3. .

[Turin_C3PO]

4. She was the hardest worker

of all the candidates, IMO. A great woman with great plans and a history of building alliances to achieve her goals. She would have made an excellent President. I still regret that I never made it to one of her rallies to get a selfie!

[calimary]

102. Well then, I bet if you ever see her at some personal appearance

or something, you could still get a selfie with her. I’d try it myself if the opportunity ever came up!

Magnificent woman.

[Shanti Mama]

5. I look forward to seeing her lead in the Senate

I love her and think she has amazing ideas. So many of them! I do think, though, that she's best suited to the legislature. I hope Joe appreciates what she brings to the table there. (big assumption on my part there)

[jayschool2013]

35. +1 NT

[world wide wally]

6. I love Liz.... She was my #2 choice behind Joe

[RandySF]

7. If you were to ask me last yearwho would be left standing after Super Tuesday

I would have included Warren. This is stunning.

[cry baby]

8. So much positive energy in her.

I hope to see a woman as prez in my lifetime...I’m 62.

Elizabeth could run again. She may be 70 but she has the energy of a 50 yr old.

I’m sad today.

[Politicub]

9. Mad respect!

[luvs2sing]

10. She was always my "or" choice.

Kamala or Elizabeth
Pete or Elizabeth
Cory or Elizabeth
Amy or Elizabeth
Joe or Elizabeth

Sigh..I am sad about this. She has so very much to offer. I wish her the greatest success in whatever she does in the future.

[FM123]

11. Thank you Elizabeth, from the bottom of my heart.

I am so sad, so proud and so grateful.

[raging moderate]

12. Thank you, Elizabeth Warren.

Elizabeth Warren has well-developed plans for every problem. We should all listen to her.

[Sloumeau]

13. Warren was, and is, awesome.

Massive respect to Elizabeth Waren. She did America and the world a service by doing so many things, including turning Bloomberg into a pile of ash.

[Maeve]

14. FWIW, I think she's vital in the Senate

The only reason I was sorry to see her in the race for president. Keep working for all of us, Elizabeth!

[defacto7]

15. So sad to see her go...

Politics is hard sometimes. We vote strategically or with our hearts. Unfortunately thanks to tRump strategy is necessary. I hope to see her in a position of power soon.

[Rob2861]

107. Will miss her

I was also sad for her to drop out. I loved the fact she was not scared of that dimwit in the White House and said what was on her mind. It would be great for Biden to select her as hid VP.

[marlakay]

16. I loved the pinkie shakes with little

Girls. But mostly I think she is the most organized woman and smart.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

17. Many thanks.

And keep up the good fight, Senator.

[The Genealogist]

18. She is getting an email from me to express my appreciation for ner

She would have been a damned good president, and had she won the nomination I'd have been honored and enthusiastic to mark her name on my ballot in November. Keep fighting the good fight, Senator Warren. You have done so much for the country you love, and I know you will continue to do so.

[stuffmatters]

90. I emailed her my gratitude yesterday. Elizabeth Warren is our 21stC FDR/Perkins.

Hopefully Biden will seek and take Warren's advice often. I'd love to see her as his VP, Sec'y of Treasury,Labor or Commerce.
Or in the hopefully "new" Senate at least Chair of Finance Committee.

Warren has proven herself for decades to be a national treasure. Hopefully Biden will see her as a boundless resource
for strategies and solutions.

[Qutzupalotl]

19. She would make an excellent president.

I expected her to win. I think Bernie’s early lead spooked a lot of the electorate. I know I wasn’t looking forward to explaining the nuances of socialism when this election should be a referendum on Trump.

Warren has fire, intelligence, wit and charm. She will still be a very effective senator, and hopefully Joe’s VP.

[Wiccaneagle]

20. My first time

I've been lurking at DU for decades. This is the first time I actually felt compelled to sign up, and log in to make a statement. I live in New Mexico and it has always been a fact of life that by the time we have our primary it's all over but the balloon drop. I still was looking forward with fingers crossed to the possibility of voting for Elizabeth Warren for President. I am more disappointed than I have been since 2016. All I can say now is that she had better get a Very Important job in Joe's administration!

[Jarqui]

21. I was thinking about this :

Can you imagine a VP debate between her and Mike Pence?

I started to chuckle. She'd Bloomberg him.

This woman took on a very successful guy who had spent half a billion dollars in campaign ads to get on that debate stage and destroyed his campaign in minutes.

Elizabeth is my favorite advocate for the unfortunate.

She has so many good qualities.

I hope she will find a way to stay engaged. I expect she will.

[bullwinkle428]

22. Okay, this is the perfect thread to say this about Elizabeth. If you were to

take a man, infuse him with the same energy and personality, with the same policy positions, the same ability to explain the issues and the best ways to address those issues, that man would be the most popular politician in America.

[ms liberty]

30. This. This. This. n/t

[renate]

92. I think you are absolutely correct

[brooklynite]

23. She was always a happy warrior...

Link to tweet

[denem]

103. That's a great photo.

Thank you for sharing.

[cp]

24. Thank you, Elizabeth Warren!

Best candidate.

[rurallib]

25. Very sad day. Beating the cancer in the White House will be the

tribute to her.

Forward! With Thanks to Elizabeth.

[dajoki]

26. Thank you Elizabeth!!!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

27. Elizabeth Warren in January of 1973.......

Was the Secretary to my husband's 2nd line Manager at an IBM facility in Morris Plains, NJ. She was impressive then as she was working to earn money to go back to College.

[spicysista]

28. Thank you Elizabeth Warren.

[GreenPartyVoter]

29. I'm just heartsick.

[BlueMTexpat]

31. Thank you, Elizabeth!

But I am heartsick to the nth degree right now.

[BeyondGeography]

82. Me too, fellow Warren stalwart

[BlueMTexpat]

99. ...

[in2herbs]

32. Thank you EW! You are too good to be VP but if a position is offered where your energy and

experience and influence can be of value please consider taking the position.

[wendyb-NC]

33. Thank you, Elizabeth.

You're the best!

[CapnSteve]

34. Love you Senator Warren. Best pick for VP.

[CaptYossarian]

36. So disappointing. She was highly qualified and deserving of the office.

This won't be the last time I'll be disappointed either. I felt this with Gary Hart (who knew?) and John Kerry (who got screwed a different way). 2016 was, and still is, a nightmare that Freddy Krueger couldn't imagine.

Now my biggest fear is that DU's Undecided has gone from 42% up to 59% in a couple of hours.

People, don't f*** up this time. We need to pull together and show up. Was I the only one with a contingency plan?

[Kitchari]

37. Many Thanks, Elizabeth Warren

Your efforts are MUCH appreciated

[Glorfindel]

38. Well done, Senator Warren.

Thank you for all you have done and will do for our country.

[ibegurpard]

39. She will stay my preference until GDP closes down

[LisaM]

54. No she won't.

I looked down at mine today and it had defaulted to UNDECIDED.

[sakabatou]

40. Thank you, Warren

[mcar]

41. kr

[ancianita]

42. Most brilliant, funny Elizabeth Warren -- planner, do'er, legislator, teacher, worker, humanitarian.

[relayerbob]

43. Loved her

Wish she was the candidate, but she's not going to go in hiding. She will continue to fight the good fight

[Fla Dem]

44. She is a fighter! I hope the citizens of Massachusetts (my home state) appreciate Sen Warren.

She's got another 5 years on her term and with a Democratic President, House and Senate she will be able to do so much good for our country.

[catrose]

45. Thank you, Senator Warren

[Happy Hoosier]

47. WE need her voice, IMO.

I think Joe should consider her for the VEEP slot.

[Sympthsical]

49. She got my vote

And she will always have my full support.

[LizBeth]

50. Hands down the best candidate in the group.

[Pachamama]

51. Thank you Elizabeth Warren....

Keep up the the good work!!!!

[Eliot Rosewater]

52. Two in a row, women who are more qualified than all the men, neither can get

elected because, well, simply put, America hates women.

I mean for fuck sakes half of this country almost is itching to EXECUTE THEM for having reproductive healthcare.

[Pepsidog]

53. I hope one day Trumpers gain a real understanding of just what Warren could have done for them. We

Dems know who she is and what she has done. Such a shame, I love Warren but America does not deserve her.

[snacker]

55. I will miss her energy.

She is so smart, and we were lucky to have her as a candidate.

[BHDem53]

56. Biden-Warren 2020!

[JeaneRaye]

57. Sorry to see her go.

She was my preferred candidate and I'm sorry to see her go. Her campaign just never took off and I bet Wall Street is breathing a big sigh of relief. Hopefully, SOMEONE, be it Biden or Sanders, will hold Wall Street's feet to the fire. I hate to say it, but I don't think Biden will do that.

[brutus smith]

58. Thank You Elizabeth. Bernie will continue to hold the torch.

[ehrnst]

85. Warren never advocated taking a torch to anything.

Maybe Bloomberg's history of NDAs, but never anything in the Democratic party.

[PoliticAverse]

59. Warren for Attorney General! n/t

[Polybius]

60. I supported Warren

I just switched. I still love her most of the candidates that ran though, and want her to be president.

[dobleremolque]

61. I do not consider for a moment that

the money I contributed to her campaign was in vain. I hope that she stays in government and works to reverse the incalculable harm that the Republicans have done to this country.

[lordsummerisle]

62. Thank you Elizabeth

She was my favorite candidate and this is like a gut-punch for me...

[The Wizard]

63. A hero

for normal Americans who struggle every day to stay above water.

[dsharp88]

64. I'm heartbroken n/t

[Demsrule86]

65. EW...at first you were not on my radar...I actually thought Sanders had a better chance and even

though I dislike him, He was my second...but then the campaign continued and I came to admire EW and believe she could win a general with a good VP pick for the Mid West...she was my second after that. I know you will be in the coming electoral fight as you always are, and I will be watching you and listening to you forever...Good Luck -Liz!

[bdamomma]

66. Senator Warren

what a wonderful woman and candidate, thank you so much. Never stop fighting.

If this country keeps putting women on the back burner there will be another mass protest. just my opinion.

[BadgerMom]

67. You will be sorely missed, Senator.

Please keep your voice in our national life.

[Funtatlaguy]

68. 👏

[TruthAlwaysWins]

69. Just received your email, Elizabeth......

and what an amazing CLASS ACT you are. I will forever be inspired by your smarts, your energy, your courage and your perseverance. We know you well enough by now to be CERTAIN that you will continue the work, every single day, to lift up those of us who have been left out of the "American Dream." You have set the vision and the goals, and we'll continue to work with you to achieve them.

In my opinion, you have not "lost", because what you have so clearly articulated has permeated the hearts and minds of democrats from every nook and cranny. Thank you for YOU!!

[SunSeeker]

70. She was such a great campaigner for Hillary in 2016.

She will be a huge asset to whoever she endorses.

[wnylib]

71. A thousand thanks and more

Keep up the good fight in whatever you do as Senator, VP, or AG. We love you.

[denvine]

72. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[Sogo]

73. I love EW!

I'm so proud to have met her on the campaign trail.

Thank you for your great plans, Senator Warren. Although the Presidential bid didn't work out, we will continue to cherish your work in the Senate.

[Miigwech]

74. So sad, loved her - SHINE ON ELIZABETH

[mvd]

75. I'm sad about her dropping out

Although I am supporting Bernie, I would have happily supported her. It would be nice to have a female President, and she would have been a great one. She is intelligent, good on the issues, and strong. I think most Bernie and Biden people would have been happy with her.

[LaurenOlimina]

76. Free Signature image for you

[walkingman]

77. A great person who spoke the truth. Her failed run highlights that our society in America still

considers women second class citizens - I can only hope that will change by 2020. We/the World needs a female POTUS.

[gopiscrap]

79. THANK YOU SENATOR WARREN

[dustyscamp]

80. She would have been an excellent President

[BigmanPigman]

81. Fantastic ideas/policies and look forward to seeing her

as VP, AG, cabinet, etc. She is a dynamo!

[Laelth]

83. .

-Laelth

[RelativelyJones]

84. Thank you, EW. Keep up the fight. We need you.

[pattyloutwo]

86. Yes, too good for VP

But please do it, EW. (Who am I kidding - it probably won’t even get offered to her.)

[BlueWI]

87. Liz Warren will always have my deepest respect.

Underappreciated by most in her party too - it won't be the same race without her. But that's on us.

Congrats and thanks, Senator Warren!

[mikelgb]

89. Thanks

[Jakes Progress]

91. The best we had running.

But like 4 years ago, even Democratic voters have misogyny to overcome.

[warmfeet]

93. I really think she would be

one of the best presidents we have ever had. She can still help to shape national policy in the senate, however.

I support her whether she is running for POTUS, or not.

Thank you Elizabeth!

[ecdab]

94. America is lucky to have such a fine person working on its behalf

I look forward to seeing what is next for her.

[susanr516]

96. I voted early for Liz

I'm leaving my status as undecided because I'm voting for the Democrat in November, no matter who he is.

I just hope I live to see a female president. Two of my female friends have passed away since the 2018 midterm election. I'm beginning to think I won't see it happen in my lifetime.

[dhill926]

97. I'm in....

man would she be a great Senate majority leader following the turtle...maybe folks would notice how dems get things done and don't just play politics....maybe...

[mzmolly]

98. .

[Raine]

100. THANK YOU Liz 💕

for fighting the good fight for all of us!

[rampartc]

101. still our top senator

and i hope fighting for long to come.

[BobTheSubgenius]

104. She is one impressive woman.

Totally poised, informed and passionate, and I've never seen her speak about an issue without her position being well-thought out and complete. She doesn't just say what SHOULD be done, but WHY and HOW.

A skill set, if you will, that every politician should have.

[anamnua]

105. I would LOVE to have seen her

in face-to-face debate with Trump.

[Hortensis]

106. Biden-Warren! Not to disrespect different decisions they might make,

but that's my new dream team and, after all, one they once considered themselves...
