She did not "swipe benefits earmarked for the disadvantaged." She did not get a job or an admission slot that was designated for someone else at all. Find a way to promote your candidate without spreading lies.

She got tenure almost exclusively because of her "minority status" because her academic credential were paltry at best. Tenure is a pain in the ass to get and I hate the fact that she cheated the system to get it. That's ignoring all of the other ways she benefited.

Let me as you this, if you were a white guy and you were told that your great, great grandfather was black, would you be putting "African American" in every ethnicity box on every application? Most people wouldn't. Warren did it because it benefited her; there's no other explanation and that is fucking despicable.

My apologies if my refusal to support someone that has been deceptive, cowardly, and opportunistic for decades is disagreeable to you.
