Elizabeth Warren just demonstrated — why she is too manipulatively professorial to be a decent president

When Senator Elizabeth Warren dropped out of the 2020 presidential race . . .
. . . many claimed it was because too many Americans are misogynists.
From my perspective, that probably is not so.
Warren is (I suspect) too:
abrasively shrill in tenor
and
arguably scolding in manner
(not that I should talk)
. . . to gain a good following among "normal" people.
Warren also, unfortunately, has an inherently irritating voice
The only such that I can recall, from among all the women I have consistently supported for high office over many decades.
Warren's vocal tone would have ruffled my inner peace, even in her once professorial position.
There are many men (of course) whom I have heard speak, who do the same thing.
To all that — add this concluding door slam
After withdrawing from the presidential race, Senator Warren elected not to endorse either of two remaining Democratic candidates at this time.
Given how much those two differ in temperament and political outlook, Warren's waffling is (in my irritated opinion) philosophically inexcusable.
Chickenshit, one might say.
It is not as if Senator Warren has not had months — during her weakly supported campaign — to think about:
the endorsement issue
and
what her immediate (and enthusiastic) favoring would mean to either of the two remaining candidate's momentum.
The moral? — You don't get to pretend to be a leader, if you lack the courage to make divisive decisions
So much for Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Her lack of political courage, with regard to coyly withholding endorsement between two markedly opposed political views, sums her lack of direction-minded character.
We do not need another Fake Party of Opposition noodle-spine in high office.
