I spent most of yesterday trying to intellectualise the outcome, but it comes down to three things, racism, sexism and privilege.
Elizabeth Warren is everything Hillary needed to be but couldn't be to win this election. She is authentic, inspirational, a woman of the people, sympathetic, has an enthusiastic following in the Dem base and is a powerful and energizing speaker. She is a fighter for the regular American worker who feels left behind or neglected by their government/society, the very voters Trump used to win election because they felt they had nowhere else to go.
The Make America Great or the Nightmare Trump? Who Won?
