I backed her because she was a progressive bulldog that was acceptable to the "moderate" wing of the Democratic party. She didn't have the same "fuck you" attitude Bernie Sanders had, and she had some great ideas for reform. In fact, I think she had a good shot at the nomination until Sanders jumped in and split the progressive wing. That allowed Biden to unify the conservative wing of the Democratic party by getting everybody else to bow out.
I'll take Biden, mind you - I voted for him in the general. I still think Warren was the better choice overall. There's a lot of people who don't want "business as usual" who either stayed home or voted for Trump because Biden was the "establishment" choice. I think they're fucking idiots, but Warren would have at least had some cred in that department.
