Bankers just laughed at a certain other candidate as a lazy joke but Warren's effective lefty advocacy and practical power legitimately terrifies Wall Street and that's really worth pointing out and bragging about at length.

I really think the Warren campaign needs to do a better job of revisiting the incredible advocacy she did for consumers and the poor while she ran the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I was reporting on Wall Street at the time; Warren had the banks *scared*.

I mean she got sh*t done and made the CFPB an effective check on Wall Street even with capitalist bootlickers like Tim Geithner and Larry Summers opposing her every single day. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/9/20/20867899/elizabeth-warren-cfpb-founding-plans-obama-president …pic.twitter.com/AFGRbdgEz5

Your reminder that Warren was scaring the living daylights out of Wall Street - calling them out daily, actively blocking pathways for their greed - while a certain other candidate was peacefully napping in Congress.

I forget that so much basic institutional history gets lost in spin and propaganda, which is what leads people away from policy and action and towards cults of personality.

A correction: Warren had the idea for, and created, an agency to protect consumers from predatory Wall St banks - and did it so well that Wall Street threw a tantrum and Obama caved to them and refused to let her actually run it.

Reminder. (also I reject the Bro strategy of jumping into threads about other politicians and dropping propaganda for their lazy con man of a candidate, so I hide those replies and block people who do that. Take your disinfo campaign elsewhere.) https://twitter.com/moorehn/status/1224325233152348167?s=21 …https://twitter.com/moorehn/status/1224325233152348167 …

If you do want to talk about your con man, though, it's worth considering that he has a long history of completely getting his facts wrong -- which is why Wall St thinks he's hilariously out of his depth and has never feared him. https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/transcript-bernie-sanders-meets-news-editorial-board-article-1.2588306 … https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2016/01/11/bernie-sanderss-claim-that-glass-steagall-banned-commercial-bank-loans-to-shadow-banks/ …

In your next reply, tell me how it feels to be a person who can't read and yet has access to Twitter. That must be so hard for you. https://twitter.com/vgmac/status/1224331827789344771?s=21 …https://twitter.com/vgmac/status/1224331827789344771 …

Honestly, whenever I pitch Warren, the CFPB is my first citation. Starting it was an extraordinary accomplishment.

And sustaining it! With Wall Street fighting her every step of the way!
