Saving the country is too important to sacrifice because you want to play nice.<\/p>\n<p>If Elizabeth Warren wants to sell us out to advance her career, then I cannot support her anymore. I rue the many days I worked to get her elected. #RecallWarren. Should we keep it a secret from Warren that some of her former supporters would like to see her recalled? Or should we tell her this while she still has a chance to redeem herself?<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center\">\n    <iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/-TiVD3huu90\" style=\"border: thick ridge #009900;\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At a meeting of Bernie supporters this evening, I was castigated for expressing ideas like this from Jimmy Dore.
