Progressive writer for hire (and Vox alumna) Emily Crockett is among the many media feminists heartbroken over Elizabeth Warren’s exit from the Democratic presidential race. But while a lot of her comrades are sticking strictly to the “Elizabeth Warren is a victim of sexism” angle, Emily’s taking things up a notch:
Dems had the chance to nominate a once-in-a-generation political and intellectual talent, and elect our first woman president to boot.
The worst part is, most of them WANTED to. But they were too scared and paralyzed by Trump, and too gaslit by the media, to follow their heart.

Right? This had to be Trump’s fault somehow. It always is.

I agree. It's Trump's fault the Democrats are sexist.

Obviously.

To be fair, Elizabeth Warren won’t accept responsibility for her own unelectability. So why should her media defenders behave any differently?
From what I could tell, the media were the only people who actually liked Warren.
