I agree that a potato is preferable to Trump, which is why I prefer Biden to Trump.

I don't think so. Too much misogyny and racism baked into our country. It won't be said aloud, but it will have a big impact on the vote.

Well, Hilary did get more votes than the chump, in 2016.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

So while country might be ready EC ain't.

She could win. Republicans will and already are making racist attacks on her (birtherism & DEI) but that will only irritate voters. I don't think they can attack her easily especially since she has a lot of experience as a district attorney of a major city, attorney general, a Senator, and as VP.
In fact, it seems Republicans are panicking.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Two women on the ticket might not be so good an idea. Baby steps.

It would sure turn out the suburban women's vote.

They'll go after her on the 'she affaired her way to the top' narrative. Disgusting. But I'm glad they're panicking. They invested a lot in Joe being too old to run, that's gone now.
