All The President's Men [View all]

You can couch it any way you want but when I hear someone saying "we aren't ready for a female president" including Pelosi and Michelle Obama, that is telling young girls and young women, they can't be president of the United States. You can say "that's not what is meant" but you have to understand how it's heard, not what you mean. I could not disagree more with the assessment that it's not possible. Some are even saying a female nazi candidate becoming president is more likely that a Democratic one, is a reflection of the Democratic Party, not the country. If you honestly think they could do that then that, by definition, is not a problem with society in the US but a shortcoming of the Democratic Party and it's messaging. I'm not saying that but just interpreting what is being said.
I mean Hillary won the popular vote. VP Harris won the second most votes of any Democratic candidate we have ever run. So to imply we cannot win is ridiculous in my opinion. And we sure as hell aren't going to get there by talking like we have already lost before we even try. Especially if you are implying you would not vote for a female candidate in a primary simply based on the fact that the candidate is a woman. That is sexist and misogynistic, no other way to interpret that in my opinion.

Also, this talk of repealing the 19th amendment is fringe Nazi BS and 80%+ of the country would not support that.

I'm a dyed in the wool pessimist but my pessimism is rooted in reality, not Facebook memes and echo chambers.

I am absolutely positive that a woman will be president of the United States in my lifetime. Maybe as soon as the next election.

I believe anyone that doesn't believe that is possible, including Pelosi and Michelle Obama, need to move out of the way because they are sowing seeds of doubt, instead of seeds of hope and inspiration.

We need to move into the post Mango Mussolini era with a positive vibe and "we can fix it" attitude because that is what the majority of people, outside of Nazi and Democratic echo chambers, desperately want to hear and believe.
