it's the same kind of line people draw in their heads about how "social credit score" is bad because it's the government doing it, but is acceptable when your data is "only" going to Google

never mind that these DNA companies sell the data to the FBI anyway

Even before that, remember her releasing her DNA test results? Remember trying to impugn Bernie in hopes of making it onto the winners cabinet and got nothing from it because she occupies no useful political ground? She has the worst political instincts of any politician I can think of.

I'm a geneticist so I get a lot more concerned brow scrunches than most. Then I explain to them how relatively easily your DNA fingerprint can be manufactured and spread at a crime scene if your genome sequence is available, and the concern turns to mild panic.

Well, in those that get it.

its been scrubbed from the entire internet but she shot a whole fuckin mini documentary with doctors saying "THIS DEFINITELY PROVES SHE WAS NATIVE AMERICAN" interspersed with her family talking about how relieved they were that their story was real, with a pivot to a series of videos about how its not OK to racistly bully people of color like elizabeth warren afterwards

well before she ran for President, Warren's other big splash in political news was writing a book, "The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Parents Are Going Broke"

it basically laid America's problems at the feet of women entering the workforce - the thesis was that once single-earned families shifted to a two-income household, it significantly increased their incomes for a while, but as education, childcare, and healthcare costs increased, even the gains from that second income have eroded, but since both adults were already working, there was no "safety net" available - where before if the single-earner got laid off or got sick, the partner could step in; but now, if you're both already working and it's still not enough, then any further stress on your finances is going to be disastrous

now, anyone with at all plugged-in to left-wing or even "progressive" politics is going to spot the problem with her framing from a mile away, but apparently it was enough to earn her credit as a very smart policy wonk

it’s the worst thing I’ve ever seen. even worse to think about is that it’s probably having it’s intended effect and the cia probably helped create woke culture poo poo

Sorry, it's still "A secret service agent panicked when Oswald shot kennedy and accidentally blew his fuckin head off with his brand new rifle that he didnt know how to use"

I'm convinced that it's also "the CIA had a plot to kill Kennedy but someone else got there first (probably this doofus secret service agent), they don't know who, and all the obfuscation since then has been them trying to salvage the situation".

I remember Evans leaning more Bernie than Warren within the whole "some more news" podcasting sphere and even had some light friction with their resident rabid warrenite, so I wonder what happened with that. Maybe officially dropping support for M4A drove it home but I guess you'd have to ask him. Say what you will be he seems too smart to have ever thought Warren was the better option unless it was a cynical choice.

If you all are still baffled by Robert Evans and his politics, just take him at his word when he says his life goal is to move to a remote polyamorous compound where he can shoot blocks of Tannerite all day.

Warren actually managed to burn off a lot of early support through the spring and summer by consistently making bad decisions. and then the M4A permanently turned off a lot of people. It’s weird to remember now but she came into the race with a fair amount of general good will that she just squandered in the stupidest way until she was down to only her idiot dead enders
