“We’ve got five episodes to find out if the people can truly break their chains, destroy the wheel, and rise up together to win,” the candidate wrote in an op-ed

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is a Game of Thrones fan, and her favorite character is, perhaps unsurprisingly, Daenerys “Stormborn” Targaryen, who Warren says, “has been my favorite from the first moment she walked through fire.” We learned this in a column Warren wrote for The Cut published Sunday evening.

In the piece, Warren outlines her reasons for her fandom. Daenerys is fair, she fights for the people, and she wants to end slavery. But in talking about Daenerys, Warren can also, subtly, talk about herself. Like the paragraph below, in which she describes the Dragon Queen—or is she describing herself?

1. Unfortunately, Daenerys is showing her darker side this season.

So she may not be the best choice to liberate Westeros. Maybe the always practical Sansa would be a better Queen? We do have a woman running who is from a cold place in the North.
