42. By the way, progressives said they would've voted for Elizabeth Warren if she'd run in 2016.

"For a time in the primaries, Bernie Sanders supporters were fond of saying, 'I'd love a woman for president, just not this one. If Elizabeth Warren were running, she'd have my vote in a minute.' But when Elizabeth Warren was actually running for the Massachusetts Senate, she had to deal with charges of being 'harsh' and 'unlikeable.' Other women were turned off by her 'know-it-all style,' and she was charged, like Clinton, with 'inauthenticity.' 'I want her to sound like a human being,' said a Democratic analyst for Boston radio station WBUR, 'not read the script that makes her sound like some angry, hectoring schoolmarm.'" (Susan Bordo)

We know what happened when she ran for president in 2020. It's not about policy. What were Warren's "missteps"?
