...says the funny American who doesn't realize that Warren and Sanders would be communists in any other oecd country, way to the left of the mainstream socialdemocrat parties.

She was asked on NPR about a time she failed. And she talked about “having it all”— two kids, and a nice house to run and a job as a law school professor. But she felt like she was failing her kids and failing her job, because she couldn’t do it all well. And untimely her aunt moved in and helped. And I was like— this woman gets it. I have had small kids and felt like nothing I did at work or at home was up to par. And she can articulate it in an manner that is relatable.

She talked about her dad having a heart attack, and he Mom entering the workforce in a minimum wage job at 50, and it being enough to keep her family afloat. And I remember my mom getting divorced, and child support being uncertain, but we owned a small house and never went without on her teachers salary.

She was also asked about her wardrobe, with is a black top, and black pants and a jewel covered blazer (I’d never noticed this). And she was like— it takes me 4 minutes to get ready in the morning, it doesn’t stain, and It’s one less thing to think about.

If Biden “gets” middle aged white men in the rust belt, Warren “gets” working moms and women in general. And only 33% of women support Trump. Someone who can speak to women in a relatable way could do an amazing job. She also seems to get economic populism in a way most Ds don’t.

I’m more of a Harris or Klobucher voter on policy. But when I hear Warren talk, she could be one of my friends, and I would love to get a beer with her. And I might not agree with everything she says, but it seems well thought out.

Go Liz!


I absolutely loved when she talked about getting dressed in four minutes


it helps that she is lithe. if she was zaftig, it would be much longer than 4 minutes


She said she just has a uniform - black pants, black top, colorful cardigan or jacket - and chose it because it makes getting dressed so easy. I think that uniform would work for anyone?


I think it’s great because it’s appropriate for everything from a kids soccer game to a presidential debate. And if you have a lot of public contact, you aren’t worried about looking grimy or spilling something.

if she was lumpy, she wouldn't be as efficient even with a standarized uniform. i love that liz is a great model for aging in a healthy fashion - something HRC was most definitely NOT

She always looks professional and well put together without the elaborate hair and makeup and designer clothes. As a working mom, I dig it. Then again, I have 5 identical pairs of black pants with blouses that don’t need to be ironed and various simple sweaters. And worlds most minimal makeup routine. So, I would.

I prefer Klobachar to Warren as well, but I will vote for whoever the Dems put forward.

She is as centering as they come. But I like that she is pragmatic and honest about what can actually happen given the Congress we are likely to have. You can make all the promises you want. I like someone who is up front and realistic about the deliverables.

When you say she's too progressive for your taste, what you mean is you are too selfish for her vision.


No. I mean I’m Gen X 2 jobs two kids in a high COL area. And by the time college becomes affordable, we will have already sacrificed a lot to put our kids through full pay. After paying full freight for daycare. After our students loans are paid off. After we have paid 20 years or more of high health insurance premiums and huge co-pays and are about to qualify for Medicare. Everything was so much more expensive for me than it was for my parents. For childcare to housing to healthcare to college. I need to be saving for retirement. It would be nice after years of watching every penny to have some discretionary income once my kids are done with college. It’s hard to swallow higher taxes for zero additional services for me. And I am tired of being the donut hole everything in a generation that doesn’t matter because it has small numbers.

I want everyone to have access to college. And healthcare. And quality childcare. But I paid $71,000 in federal taxes last year, contribute $40,000 a year to Kid 1’s education, with Kid 2 soon to follow, and none of it is tax deductible, max out my retirement because we had job loss during the recession, pay $800 a month for health insurance, and have over $10,000 out of pocket already this year, commute 45 minutes each way to live in a house we can afford in a good school district, drive a 7 year old Subaru and am not living in the lap of luxury. I’m contributing what I can. I can’t afford another $30,000 in taxes so someone else gets their student loan debt wiped out, when we gave up so much so our kids wouldn’t have any. Maybe that’s selfish. Or, maybe it’s pragmatic.
