Elizabeth Warren 2020 campaign megathread

[Higgins]

If the next generation has money to "travel all around the world", I don't want to hear a peep about student loan forgiveness under any circumstances. I am thankful that American government us set up to stonewall all of this.

The last thing people should be doing is selfish and dirty world travel over starting families and prudently saving.

What money to travel? This isn't the 1960s grandpa, flights cost virtually nothing and millennials travel on the cheap backpacking and staying in Air bnb. They also don't care about owning crap, they rather have experiences. So they spend money on travel rather than possessions. This is actually very healthy for a person's wellbeing and psychology. Owning a bunch of stuff can weigh you down psychologically, while having adventures and experiences with friends has been shown to lead to more happiness.

 Europeans also travel more than us because they have more vacation time, and they also have socialized medicine (the horror), and nowhere near the student debt we have. Maybe if you travel or pick up a book, you would know this.

Millenial here. My girlfriend - who works as a bartender and supervisor at her job, and I work two jobs 7 days a week - between us we don't have the money to go backpacking across the world and Air BnB it. Also, because unlike you we have a respect for history and tradition, we have possessions. Being a trust fund recipient must be nice though.

Also, the Europeans travel more probably because most of European is located all on one continent in a relatively small area overall whereas international travel from the US requires a flight that is a few hundred dollars anyway you take it.

Also, nice ageism you got going there.

Looks like someone's a little testy when they have to go off-script.  Seriously...this is a bad look for her to act so defensive, evasive, and just downright nasty.  If she's this way with a fellow progressive, how's she going to handle DONALD TRUMP?!

"I'm just a player in the game" = I'm just like every other politician despite the fancy window dressing. I do what I'm told by the people running the show.

Warren is ontop of the polls again. Warren seems youthful; whereas, Bernie and Biden seem old. Hope Warren wins, now.

Watching Trump beat her would be priceless. No one wants their boring 5th grade school teacher as President.

Hey now, Mr. Holman was pretty great, if a little obsessed with flash cards.

Warren just does not have that IT factor that Obama, Clinton, Trump have. She would be great as a department head in someone else's cabinet. She might have been better in the 70s or even the early 90s, when policy wonks weren't boring in the eyes of the general public. No one in the mainstream wants that now. She's boring.

Sad that people think like this. Logically I'd think you'd rather have a smart person, even if they're 'boring' than an idiot as your leader (and especially when it's Warren vs Trump).

She’s friends with my enemies. Which makes her my enemy.
