In reply to the discussion: Nancy Pelosi calls female US president in her lifetime unlikely: 'Marble ceiling' [View all]thought crime
(1,129 posts)It adds weight to the defeatism seen in many comments here. Is this happening with other issues such as Climate Change? Should we stop trying because we haven't been successful? Just give up? Civil rights? Economic justice? It's hard, so we should quit trying?
I have to admit that having a female president, while absolutely a great thing, isn't even a super high priority for me. I've never been much of a glass-ceiling kind of guy (yeah guy), sorry, but I am interested in seeing every candidate have an equal chance without regard to race, gender, etc. And if a good candidate is female she should run and be supported without regard to gender. Maybe we should, you know, STOP DISCRIMINATING.
I hope candidates like Kamala Harris, AOC, and Jasmine Crockett can run for any office they wish to because they are great leaders. We shouldn't be thinking "it can't happen now". We should just know that it will happen.
Nancy Pelosi was the best speaker I've seen, but having said that I really hope this particular statement is a sign that she does not intend to run for president in 2028 because she has a bad case of O.L.D. Yeah, that's right, there are times when we should discriminate.
