Those Sexist Democrats

Elizabeth Warren finally quit the race for president this week, about 2 weeks later than she should have. Better late than never, I guess.

In the wake of her withdrawal, the usual suspects in the media started doing what they always do when something impacts the left – they started trying to find something external to blame for their own actions. MSNBC and CNN panels were devoted to “what went wrong” with Warren’s promising campaign and searching for a reason she couldn’t regain the momentum she’d had earlier.

In typical liberal fashion, they looked externally, quickly settling into their “safe space” of blaming society as a whole for something completely of their own doing.

Sexism was the culprit, they declared. The country has never had a female president, and so many knuckle-dragging Americans simply can’t accept the idea of one now, or possibly ever.

There are a lot of problems with this theory, not the least of which is the only people who’ve had the chance to vote for Elizabeth Warren are Democratic Party primary voters, so it’s not the country who rejected her (or didn’t have the chance to), it was them.

Among these problems is the fact that the left-wing media stopped paying attention to her. They built her up, showering her with glowing coverage, fawning panel discussions, and more magazine covers than your average supermodel. That was early on in the race, then it was gone.

Distracted by shiny new candidates like Michael Bloomberg or others who’d over-performed their expectations like Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren faded. Like a new toy a kid plays with non-stop for a week after Christmas, then never touches again, the shine was gone.

Of course, being treated like anyone else is not what feminists want. They want the good stuff, not the bad stuff. But you can’t get special treatment in the name of equal treatment.

In the end, Elizabeth Warren lost because Elizabeth Warren was an awful, dishonest candidate who ran as Bernie-lite. Why vote for Bernie-lite when you can just vote for Bernie?

While all the liberal journalists and pundits try to punch the feminist box on their “woke” cards by lamenting Warren’s demise as proof this country is a horrible, sexist wasteland, it’s important to remember how Amy Klobuchar got such send off when she ended her much more successful campaign. And as Democrats pledge to “do better” in the future (mostly in an attempt to retain the votes of women who only want to vote for a woman because she’s a woman), notice the relative silence over the Democratic National Committee changing the rules to exclude Tulsi Gabbard, an actual woman of color, from the next debate.

Elizabeth Warren was a failure for the same reasons so many progressive Democrats are failures – they are lying, unlikeable hypocrites willing to do or say anything to quench their thirst for power. While she claimed Bloomberg’s scalp along the way, the smoke signals were on the wall the whole time. To the extent sexism played any role in her demise, if any, it was from Democrats. They denied the rest of the country the chance to reject her for any of the other number of reasons she’s spent a lifetime giving us.

Good article. It’s nice to see someone in the media say this. I’ve been thinking this myself, that it was Democrats who rejected all the women candidates. So if anyone was sexist here, it was Democrats only. And the irony is that the Democrats are the liberal party, the party which celebrates diversity and all that. Yet Democrats torpedoed the women presidential candidates.

This article is one way to look at it.

Prez Trump supplied another. He asked, “Why did Warren quit the day AFTER Super Tuesday? Her votes split Bernie’s and probably kept him from winning another five states.”

Despite any deal Lizzy may have had with the DNC, her voters are more naturally Bernie voters than Biden voters, IMHO. And, she has coyly said she wouldn’t endorse, although she’s taken a swipe at Bernie for not restraing his Brown Shirt acting Bernie-Bros. Meanwhile I’ve read rumors that her camp has consulted with both the Biden and the Bernie campaigns. Interesting scheming there.

First they got rid of the blacks! then they got rid of the females and now they ended up with what they were rallying against from the beginning, “TWO WHITE OLD MEN” HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Meh.
Mediocre article is kind to it.
You cannot write an honest article about Elizabeth Warren at all unless you go through the fake Indian stuff because that is essentially who she is.

Some people have a characteristic which absolutely defines them.

Warren does, and that is it.

With two men and one woman you would have expected the Dems to vote her in a landslide. Women voted against their own welfare?

“What went wrong?”

Did ANYTHING go right?

And is Joe Biden running any better candidacy than in 1988? Or has the rest of the pool of contenders just gotten much worsr?
