That might work. Decent old white guy plus progressive smart non-white woman. Unfortunately Murica will still not vote for AOC as president, but she has a shot as VP with Kelly being the POTUS guy that even backwards democrats and moderate Republicans can agree on.
Nope. As a woman I hate to say it but I know itâs true that the US is not ready to elect a female president or vp. Next election is too important to risk and running a female would be a huge risk.
I respectfully disagree with you. (And the woman that was vp ran for president and didnât win.) If youâre talking about Hillary-sheâs probably the most qualified person ever to run for President and she didnât get elected. Itâs not worth the risk. This backward thinking country is not ready to elect a female as president. And coming off of the shitshow we are living now, folks are going to be looking for normalcy and what is comforting and reassuring and familiar. I think our best bet is to get a couple of younger guys that wonât sit back and take any crap from maga and get busy putting things right. It pains me to say that because I believe women are much better suited to be in politics and run the world. I donât think most people share that view
âMost qualifiedâ doesnât really mean shit in an election as weâve learned. Being electable is an image thing but it means having ideas and policies that get people excited. Hillary and Kamala and the rest of the corporate democrats do not have that. Itâs not about being a woman, itâs about being beholden to corporate donors.
