"No matter how many Washington insiders tell you to support him, nominating their fellow Washington insider will not meet this moment," Warren told a crowd at East Los Angeles College.

Nominating someone who wants to restore the world before Donald Trump, when the status quo has been leaving more and more people behind for decades, is a big risk for our party and our country." After failing to perform as well in Super Tuesday contests as she and her supporters had hoped, Warren officially ended her presidential bid <https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/03/05/elizabeth-warren-ends-brillia= nt-and-issue-focused-presidential-campaign-what-does> on Thursday. While she has still not endorsed either Sanders and Biden, many of her supporters and former staffers have mobilized a #WarrentoBernie <https://twitter.com/hashtag/WarrenToBernie?src=3Dhashtag_click>campaign arguing that only Sanders can fulfill the promises and vision she laid out in her campaign. In a thread on Twitter <https://twitter.com/amit_dadon/status/1236746990731567111>, Amit Dadon, a progressive activist and gun control advocate from Parkland, Florida, said that while he was behind Warren prior to last week, now that she has withdrawn, "it's clear only one candidate carries her progressive vision/values: and that's Bernie Sanders." "We will not win this election by running a 'safe,' boring, centrist choice that inspires absolutely nobody. We will not make big structural change by running a candidate in Biden whose platform is full of half measures that fix none of the problems that got us to Trump," Dadon added. "Bernie is the only one fighting for healthcare as a right for all, meaningful action on the climate crisis, and a wealth tax. As an immigrant, Biden's record troubles me, while Bernie's platform is far better in making our immigration system humane/fair, uplifting our communities." He said, "If you supported Warren's platform, I urge you to vote for Bernie, too=E2=80=94he's the only one left who actually believes in/will ac= t on it. We don't need Biden's status-quo; we need to fight for people we don't know. That's the only way we get big structural change." --=20 ---=20 You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "= Sid-l" group.
