Savor a warm, slightly salty beverage

Leah McElrath tweeted that candidate Elizabeth Warren “continues to piss off all the right people.” Then McElrath proposed to the Warren staff:

The people want a “Billionaires’ Tears” coffee mug.

Please have your awesome merch people get on that.

McElrath even proposes a few designs.

And within hours the Warren team has such a mug for sale on her webpage. The description reads:

In November 2019, billionaire and former Goldman Sachs executive Leon Cooperman (who as recently as 2017 settled with the SEC on insider-trading charges) was brought to tears on live television while discussing the prospect that a President Elizabeth Warren might require him to pay his fair share in taxes. Savor a warm, slightly salty beverage of your choice in this union-made mug as you contemplate all the good a wealth tax could do: universal childcare, student debt cancellation, universal free college, and more.

McElrath was delighted and quickly ordered one. She tweeted:

While you order yours, think about the astonishing competence of the team Warren has put together that they can perform such a quick turnaround.

It’s a testament to her executive skills.

It takes exceptional instincts and highly-developed executive skills to choose and empower staff who can — quickly and effectively — implement your voice and vision.

There’s something annoying in McElrath’s Twitter feed. No, not this idea. Every image for a proposal and the actual mug is replaced by:

This media may contain sensitive material.

A mug with the words “Billionaire’s Tears” is sensitive? Really? In this case I hope you delightfully click on “view.”
