Dr. Jill Stein, the Green Party nominee for president, spoke on Democracy Now on Thursday. She blasted Hillary Clinton for implementing many of the same policies that Trump is currently calling for, and expressed hope that Bernie Sanders will consider continuing his presidential run on a third-party ticket.

“Trump says very scary things — deporting immigrants, massive militarism and ignoring the climate. Well, Hillary, unfortunately, has a track record for doing all of those things,” she added.

Clinton boasted at a town hall in New Hampshire in November 2015 that, as a senator, she had voted for 2006 legislation that authorized the building of roughly 650 miles of wall on the border.

First, a bit of an introduction. I’ve been following H. A. Goodman’s work throughout much of the primary season. He has been a passionate and determined fighter for Bernie Sanders for all the right reasons. As such, I think what he has to say about Elizabeth Warren is representative of a significant portion of Sanders supporters.

The damage Elizabeth Warren has done to her reputation, as well as the overall movement to reign in Wall Street criminality, is impossible to overstate. She went from instilling actual fear in the hearts of finance executives, to becoming a total joke. By not endorsing Sanders and now rushing out to back Hillary Clinton, Elizabeth Warren has taken herself completely out of the game and willingly transformed herself into Clinton’s obedient progressive mascot.

As someone who worked on Wall Street for a decade, I can tell you all the bigwigs there are giddy with disbelief at how easily she was neutralized. They will become emboldened by the fact that another tough talking politician was so easily brought in line and reduced to a laughing stock. Well done, Elizabeth Warren.

Now here’s the video.

I’d like to add a couple of things. First, to Mr. Goodman. I’m sorry, but there’s no big plan here. I know you don’t actually think there is, but it’s still sad to see you hold onto that hope. The way I see it, there’s only one obvious motivation behind Elizabeth Warren’s actions: personal ambition.

What is clear here is that Elizabeth Warren cares more about Elizabeth Warren than she does about her so-called principles. There’s no other way to justify endorsing someone who stands for everything she is supposedly against. I think the Democratic establishment likely promised to push her to the front of the line once Hillary sits on the throne, and she agreed. She wants to be President, and she was also probably a little resentful than Bernie Sanders was able to get so far without “playing ball.” The whole affair is extraordinarily nauseating and Elizabeth Warren has exposed herself as a pathetic fake in front of the entire world.

Finally, I want to end with some powerful words from Nina Turner, which Mr. Goodman mentioned at the beginning of his video blog.

From RawStory:

A top surrogate for Bernie Sanders isn’t impressed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s attacks against Donald Trump, whom she frequently needles on Twitter and slams in speeches. Nina Turner said she didn’t think Warren could woo Sanders supporters if Hillary Clinton chose her as running mate, saying the Massachusetts senator hadn’t done enough to help her colleague from Vermont during his primary campaign, reported The Hill. “It’s easy for Democrats to attack Mr. Trump,” said Nina Turner, the former state senator from Ohio. “You don’t get any brownie points from me and other progressives for getting into a Twitter war with Mr. Donald Trump. That’s easy. But when the fight was hard for Sen. Bernie Sanders, where was Sen. Warren?” Turner said she and other Sanders supporters were disappointed that Warren, as one of the most high-profile progressive lawmakers, didn’t campaign for the Democratic challenger. “They’re gonna attack me for saying this, but I’m a truth-teller at this point,” Turner said.

At least somebody has the guts to say it.
