      I’m away w/ my family until Friday but want to say that I’m very glad @ewarren is going to run for President. She’s a brilliant, but pragmatic intellectual with big ideas & dreams & She just hired a badass Black woman as her Chief of Staff. She will make the primaries better.https://twitter.com/ewarren/status/1079734725323964417 …

      Every person in America should be able to work hard, play by the same set of rules, & take care of themselves & the people they love. That’s what I’m fighting for, & that’s why I’m launching an exploratory committee for president. I need you with me: http://elizabethwarren.com  pic.twitter.com/uXXtp94EvY

      I have a few concerns with @ewarren. But let me say this LOUDLY. If you have a political candidate that you DO NOT have concerns about then you are BLIND. Every single candidate, all of them, 100%, have said or done something problematic. If you say otherwise you’re lying.

      One thing I ask of my most progressive friends. You are my tribe. My family. All I ask is that you sincerely evaluate each Democratic candidate. Create a rubric or a set of values and policies and ACTUAL political action that you are looking for. Push, but give them some time.

          An ultimate truth we must deal with. We have to cut the umbilical cord between the corporatists, speculators, war profiteers, and the govt, which is an appendage to their business affairs. The Dem Party is inextricably tied to this network. A candidate must say it out loud to winpic.twitter.com/JAMYnkKCo1

          I don't understand "give them some time." You don't get time when you are running for office, that is what you have a record for. Your time was spent crafting that record. That should be the largest part of your evaluation since past performance usually indicates future results

          The only people who won't be doing this are the people who make a hobby out of running around calling people "neoliberal corporate shills" and whatnot. Serious consideration isn't part of the hobby, which has little to do with real-world politics or policy.

          Nah. Serious consideration reveals how many people are bought. Keep misreading the electorate and the situation. It worked out great last time...

          If you think DJT/GOP does not deserve re-election, pls decide NOW to do all your campaigning over the next 2 yrs with the idea in the back of your mind that one day you might need to support someone other than your favorite. It's the only way Dems can end GOP #carnage in 2020

          Exactly. I am glad she is in the race. I want to see who else will announce, and the person who best aligns with what I would want in a President will get my vote.

          I love this idea of creating a political rubric; as a teacher they are imperative to learning and growth. My hope for the upcoming year is that we all are more intellectually honest. I am going to use some of my decompression time to creating one for myself! Thank you!
