The post was much longer than that I didn't alert on it but I'm not surprised to learn that post was deleted. The poster seemed to think DU of all places was too far left mainly because they didn't like Maher.

Warren was actually #1 in the polls when Obama said that. She wasn't my first choice but I don't think she would have had to drop out after 1 term and could have prevented Trump from getting a second term. The goal of the 2020 primaries was to end Trump's career and Democrats have failed at that.
