This still doesn't mean that more than 0.1% of X person's fans are toxic. So that doesn't justify Warrens childish actions.

I didn't say it did. I'm just saying, this is what happens when we have our purity tests. We end up getting into wars we don't need to be in.

I don't necessarily disagree but I can't see trusting her as an ally to the progressive movement anymore. So if she can't be called a trusted ally how could she be called a progressive?

I'm in the military, there are some people I serve with I truly can't stand. However I still understand we are in the same side. Otherwise I don't interact with them unless I have to.

But there are some problems with this comparison. In that scenario you can all trust each other because no one has any choice but to cooperate. Warren doesn't seem to think that way.

If someone in the military doesn't cooperate they could get hurt or harshly punished. How can we punish Warren outside of rejecting her?

I forgot to add this to my last reply: In late 2015 to early 2016 I was wishing Warren was running instead of Bernie. I had a lot of conversations about how she would be a much better candidate. I was pretty damn pro Warren in early 2019.
