2. Elizabeth Warren is incredibly narcissistic, in some ways, even worse than Trump (bold claim, I know, but bear with me). She managed to cause Sherrod Brown & Katie Porter to lose their elections by hitching her wagon to an incredibly unpopular, fringe & unhinged anticrypto platform. Instead of learning from this & focusing on the kitchen table issues like she pays lip service to on campaigns, she's back again trying to shore up her own power by making retail banks the only game in town (which she controls via the CFPB), which is why she's against stablecoins & all non-bank financial institutions. She can do this because her seat is safe & she doesn't care how it hurts the Dems overall: even Trump doesn't do this and blinked on tariffs.

I love how @dfern.eth can take an objective stance without being emotionally tethered to team D/R. Makes me wonder, is it possible that we could stand up a new party. Call it the pro-agency party, where members commit to only pass laws that maximize human agency except for extreme cases of societal hazards.
