The way "Super" Tuesday went for Elizabeth Warren just showed me how much of a bubble I actually live in. Liz lives about a mile from me. My town was ride-or-die for her, most of my friends were all in for her (and those that weren't have been in for Bernie for quite a while), and I foolishly thought that surely at least the rest of *her own fucking state* would be voting for her. And in the end, my town, her own, and two others adjacent were just about it. A couple of others throughout Massachusetts went for her, and that was all.

It's been almost two days and I'm still shaking my head in bewildered disbelief. I mean, I *can* believe it, I just wish I didn't need to.

Thank you so much for this. I've poured my heart and in soul into my support for Warren, and I cannot believe that now I won't even get to vote for this candidate who has inspired me in so many ways and quite literally changed my life by motivating me to volunteer for my first campaign (my state hasn't had our primary yet). So much of how Warren has been received by the journalist, pundits, and voters has made me want to bang my head against a wall, and this is utterly gutting. It's a breath of fresh air to read coverage which actually admits to the wall of patriarchal obstacles Warren was forced to scale as a female candidate, and to know that I and my small circle of friends were not alone in our enthusiasm for her candidacy.
