Welcome to Our Movement, Warren Voters
Rather than dwell on Elizabeth Warren’s mistakes, let’s focus on her supporters. It’s good to see some of them switching to Bernie Sanders, and there ought to be many more — here are just a few reasons why.

Senator Elizabeth Warren has dropped out of the race for the presidency.
Since she didn’t win any states on Super Tuesday, this was expected. Warren hasn’t endorsed either Biden or Sanders and is reportedly not sure whether she will take a side in the primary. This will understandably perturb some Sanders backers, but rather than focus on Warren, I’d like to focus on her supporters.
Elizabeth Warren is only one person, but her supporters are legion, and they are a motivated group, many of them activists, with the skills and social capital to convince others. Bernie will need every progressive vote to beat Biden, and whoever is the nominee will need every vote to beat Trump.
