General Discussion

And I did read your other posts in this thread. I also disagree with your posts having presented the argument about the pipeline of talented women. You started with preemptively bashing anyone who would prefer a candidate who's a woman calling us painfully unaware, and then got upset when someone called that attitude out.

And instead of responding to what I wrote, you reduced it to platitudes and immediately dismissed me in favor of a position you didn't make in this thread, but gave yourself credit for in talking about the pipeline of women candidates downstream. But that's not a particularly convincing argument to me because we already have that. Yes obviously we could use more women, people of color, LGBTQ+, etc, but we have people from those groups already. What would convince you was the right time? We've had an incredibly effective woman as Speaker of the House, we've had a woman VP for an administration that got an impressive amount of legislation passed (including some bipartisan legislation in an era where that's rare), women governors. Do we need to have had x number of women vice presidents? A woman leading the Senate majority?
