She\u2019s not using it to fight for herself. She\u2019s fighting for the less privileged, a trait I actually really, really want in a leader. For instance, during the debate, she was furious as she stood up for the thousands of men of color who have been stopped and frisked, the millions of black and brown families who were preyed upon with redlining, and children with disabilities who faced budget cuts while billionaires got a tax break this year.<\/p>\n<p>  Warren\u2019s rage is almost always in the service of others and that\u2019s her secret weapon. Nothing made that more obvious than when Pete Buttigieg pressed Amy Klobuchar about forgetting the name of the president of Mexico. Warren jumped in, not to prove that she knew the answer, but to stand up for the only other woman onstage, even if she\u2019s her competitor.<\/p>\n<p>  \u201cLet\u2019s be clear: Missing a name all by itself does not indicate that you do not understand what\u2019s going on, and I just think that\u2019s a mistake,\u201d Warren said. Even when an injustice is lobbed at her opponent in a way that could totally benefit her, Warren doesn\u2019t take the bait. Isn\u2019t that precisely the quality we want in the person we elect to the highest office?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And, related, an image I found on Facebook and reposted earlier today:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/ewarren.png\" alt=\"Warren was not mean, nor angry.
