In this op-ed, writer Stefanie Iris Weiss reveals why she’s all-in for Elizabeth Warren after being a Bernie Sanders supporter for years.
I’m a longtime Democratic Socialist, like, way before it was cool, so I was over the moon when Bernie Sanders announced his candidacy in 2015. At long last, someone who embodied my progressive values was on the national stage. I’d waited all my life for an answer to the neoliberal Democrats who were mostly fine on social issues but ignored my other policy priorities, so I wept with joy and pride through all of Sanders’ debates with Hillary Clinton.
