“To say that I supported [Warren] because I wanted a woman president is reductive. While her gender certainly held some appeal, it was less the fact of her womanhood and more the way that her womanhood had shaped her worldview,” writes LuxAlptraum
Photo: Sarah Rice/Getty Images Elizabeth Warren was not my first choice when primary season began. A year ago I found myself at brunch with a handful of Beltway insiders, when the question of whom we were leaning toward came up.
It didn’t take a genius to predict the opposition Elizabeth Warren would face: the former Republican turned progressive crusader, the white woman who’d once claimed indigenous heritage then compounded that harm by going public with a DNA test that purported to show a fractional amount of Cherokee ancestry, even as tribe members explicitly told her that tribal membership, not genetic data, is the true measure of someone’s indigenous identity.
But just as I’d eventually come to back Hillary Clinton in 2016 despite my many reservations about her, I found myself drawn to Warren as the primary campaign progressed. To say that I supported her because I wanted a woman president is reductive. While her gender certainly held some appeal, it was less the fact of her womanhood and more the way that her womanhood had shaped her worldview.
But, just as with Clinton in 2016, Warren wound up pitted against Bernie Sanders.
