Warren is not a national figure she is regional. She isn't necessary to help someone like Jasmine or AOC to get office. She isn't or wasn't a drag on Harris. The bitcoin thing is silly. It needs to be regulated, the pump/dump or rug pulls common in crypto scams are hurting younger folks and they need protection from their own gullibility. Her biggest contribution was in the development of the CFPB which could have been great. She did her part. She keeps trying to do her part. Big Tech was always going to go to the republicans, because they are arrogant, live in a bubble, and think they alone can reshape the world in their image. They morphed and were corrupted by money which made them think their app that created face mustaches was critical to the world order, and not just another beanie baby. They thought the cash = genius and they were seduced by authoritarianism. It is why Musk's pivot was never really a surprise.
I disagree with you about Ted Cruz. He is not beloved, but he is more than tolerated. They might not personally like him, but they side with him, help him, and allow him to show up to their events. That is acceptance, despite what we hear.
The DP wants the United States to prosper as a democratic state, its citizens to prosper, it is largely happy with maintaining the status quo in doing so and moves slowly, and can sometimes not realize the temperature of the pot of water it rising. The republicans wipe their ass with the constitution and become an autocratic state. I identify with the democratic party more than I align with the latter. Something about tearing families apart, redistribution of wealth from the bottom to the top, and destroying the future seems to motivate me toward the opposition.
