I Voted for Warren, My Husband Voted for Sanders, and I Feel Betrayed
Voting for a progressive woman felt like a chance so rare that it caused me to fume at my own husband for making a different decision.
ELLEN O'CONNELL WHITTET MARCH 10, 2020
Ever since Elizabeth Warren dropped out of the presidential race, I’ve been mad at my husband. Just a week earlier, two canvassers for Bernie Sanders had shown up at our door with flyers. “We’re Warren people,” my husband told them, something I later joked was the most romantic thing he’d ever said. But in the days leading up to Super Tuesday, when our state of California hosted its primary, I watched him grow more and more agitated about the possibility of Joe Biden, a candidate who was not progressive enough for either of us, becoming the nominee. So for the first time in the eight years I’ve known my husband, we voted differently—I voted for Warren and he cast his ballot for Sanders.
All primary season long, I’d smugly listened while several other friends in heterosexual marriages complained about their husbands not taking Warren seriously. As they told it, their husbands seemed convinced that Sanders had a more radical vision for the country’s future and that he was less willing to compromise his ideals to get things done. But the promise of compromise and collaboration is what attracted so many of my friends to Warren in the first place. They saw her willingness to work with others as a strength, and grew frustrated trying to explain to their husbands why they thought this pragmatic, measured approach was a better way to meet many of the same goals.

No, he normally wears the strap-on.
...How dare my Husband think and act on his own and make his own decisions and not just do what I think he should do...
Incredible betrayal of what the women in 1920 stood for
Well, both of them are daft of their senses!
When they voted Democrat (doesn’t matter WHO!), they voted AGAINST America!
Vote Republican to vote FOR America!
Two @$$holes perfect for each other.
I noticed the author’s (whiner’s) Twitter account is secured so only “approved” tweeters can interact - must suck to have to lock folks out because so many more want to troll you than actually support you...
Seems she’s sexist, and he’s pragmatic.
I seriously hope these two do not have children. Leftist should be reminded that children are the cause of environmental destruction and they should help by not having any.
Content of character means nothing to these people. They are so wrapped up in identity that they see nothing but gender or skin color. The mental illness is real.
This is kind of like various fanatical bands of Red Guards murdering each other for not being fanatical enough about Chairman Mao during the Cultural Revolution.
Let them eat their own. Its fun to watch.
Two bad choices. Chlamydia vs Gonorrhea.
Wow way better looking than I expected...
Psst, hey husband of the author: she thinks she owns you. GET OUT NOW!
You know it’s a good article when the author immediately protects their account after publishing it.
Exactly these women are why Hillary lost.
Surprisingly normal and a cute dog too....
Ellen, there is a third option beside Bernie or the Cherokee Princess. You could vote for the candidate who most protects the Bill of Rights.
Your excellent response saves us from wasting the time to respond to this little girl pretending to be an adult!
Both should never vote again to avoid the conflict.
That way she could only hypothetically feel betrayed. And hypotheticals are easier to get over.
Is Ms. O’Connell Whittet really Ms. O’Connell Whitless?
He probably secretly voted for Trump.
BOL, if, he still had one testicle still working!
