CHICAGO - Things were gloomy inside Elizabeth Warren’s Illinois campaign headquarters the day after Super Tuesday, where it had become clear the Massachusetts senator’s presidential bid was coming to an end. Staff in Chicago “floated around like ghosts” and tried to figure out what the roughly 40 people showing up for that night’s phone bank should tell voters, organizer Cat Valdez recalled.
Another staffer came up with an idea: They would make calls for Marie Newman, a progressive trying to unseat Chicago-area Rep. Dan Lipinski, a staunch abortion opponent and one of the most conservative Democrats in Congress. By the end of the night the Warren team had made about 4,000 calls, some of them through tears.
Women’s groups have reason to feel deflated. Following several years of historic gains for women — including a record six women running for president — Warren was the last of the major female candidates to quit the race when she dropped out the day after the Chicago phone bank. It’s now a contest between two 70-something white men, former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Sanders, the more progressive of the two, has slipped behind.

This is so bad I expected four writers in the byeline.
One of the easiest things to do when you are a young man in New York City is pick up a liberal woman. They are so desperate for love and affection that you throw them a few stupid lines and say you’re voting for a progressive and you should be good for the night
"Mention Modern Art, Civil Rights or Folk Music and you're in like Flynn."
Lol
I know I am not the most “emotionally available” human being on the planet, but I grew out of crying when my team lost before I hit adolescence... what are with these people?
Only at your own risk. The modern liberal woman is very vindictive. Step even slightly out of line, and there would be hell to pay. I can’t imagine being a heterosexual and single young adult male in today’s world.
Why would you want to?
Seriously, I don’t care if you are liberal, but honestly if I know your political affiliation because you feel you need to tell me within the first minute of talking, unless we are at a political event, I am not want to anything to do with you, whether your political affiliation is left or right...
If you define yourself primarily by your politics, you hold no interest to me.
Yeah I knew many of them in the city and a lot of them were insane.
Olds Woody Allen joke - I had a progressive girl friend in NY till she found out I was trying to do to her what politicians had been already doing to the country for years
Many women today have ZERO idea of what a man is, or how they act or behave, and expect them to be women... They want all the perks of a 1950s world, without any of the obligations...
Are you David Spade?
And the Woody Allen scene trying to meet women at the art museum....

The dead, bleak future of nothingness crowd.
I was in my twenties and early thirties and if they had a good body I didn’t care how much what they were saying except that I could use it to my advantage.
Once they spouted something leftist I knew I was in.
What are you doing Saturday night? Committing suicide. What are you doing Friday night?
That’s a great movie :-)
My gf is 40 going on 14!
Same with DC. Appeal to their artistic and/or intellectual vanity, then its straight to pound town.
Most modern women are primarily interested in a man’s bank account. Harvey Weinstein always had a woman on his arm.
I posted without even seeing yours.
Mention Country Music and you are dead. lol
