Is the country ready for a female president?
July 21, 2024 at 9:05 pm
I am not familiar enough with Harris, but I can already imagine how Trump will treat her.
But what of the land known as 'Murica? Do the people want a female president?

A lot of people won't like it but fuck them. I think the majority will be okay.
We did see a lot of push-back on our first black president. So much so that racism became fashionable again. Those on the right had grudgingly come to accept black people in many walks of life but president was a step too far. There is no other explanation for the extreme reaction from so many of them. You can dislike anyone's politics but how can anyone dislike Barack Obama so intensely on a personal level? There is very little to dislike about the man.
It will be the same if we get President Harris. The right will react with vitriol but the rest will hardly even notice.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

I think that she will likely do a good job. Is she Biden or Obama? Of course not. She can't possibly be worse than the chump, and will have associates that can help, as opposed to sycophants who were hired only to help sow chaos.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

I think America can accept a female President. I hope we can accept VP Harris over the Shitgibbon.

I really think 'yes'. In a previous post, I pointed out that 81 million people voted for a female VP in 2020, knowing full well that Biden could die in office.
And in 2016, 65 million people voted for a woman at the top of the ticket.

If I was American I would vote for anyone to keep Trump out of office!

Sane America would vote for a potato over Trump. Trump 'Murica will frame her as a DEI candidate because you can say DEI aloud when you're dog whistling.
