https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/08/sexism-proxy-still-sexism/596752/?Elizabeth Warrens Radical Idea
She believes that if voters are given the opportunity to support an agenda thats both coherent and compassionate, they will take it.
...Warrens bet is different. Shes pitching herself as hyper-competent, full of plans, and dedicated, above all, to righting the wrongs done by economic injustice. Shes a technocrat but speaks in moral terms, explaining her policy agenda to audiences in a way that presumes neither their stupidity nor their malice. Hers is a campaign based in an unusual degree of intelligent optimism, presuming not that the American electorate is dumb, racist, or full of cruelty, but that they are hardworking people who want one another to thrive. In this way, Warren has positioned herself as Trumps opposite, not just ideologically but also temperamentally and morally: She is thoughtful and deliberate where he is impulsive and reckless; she is compassionate and kind where he is brutish and rude; she is empathetic and attentive where he is sneering and contemptuous.
If in past contests Democrats have followed Republicans to the right, in this one they have a chance to try something newto state clearly their own principles and ideas. Warrens strategy is based on the radical idea that if American voters are given the opportunity to support an agenda thats both coherent and compassionate, they will take it.......

(31,261 posts)are for her and ones that take convincing.
But what she should not do if it is her versus Trump is always take the high road and ignore his insinuations and insults, she must use her superior intellect to strike back firmly and make Trump look like the empty fool that he is. Trump thrives in a vacuum, Senator Warren must not allow conditions to develop that he thrives in, keep him off balance and explaining his stupid shit.
