I like Kamela

She’s firey experienced and can hold her own. The only thing I fear is the latent sexism and racism in the population in general.Some sexist men will not vote for a woman period. Some racist men won’t vote for a black person. They might appear open to the idea of a black woman as president but secretly feel otherwise. Never underestimate male insecurity and the siren song of patriarchy appealing to them.


However Kamala has her shit together.

And that someone will say "I will vote for a woman, but her" like they said for Hillary.

I need some time to grieve, and then will fight like hell to beat Trump. We need to primary every last representative who stuck a knife in our President’s back. This was the coup I was fearing would come from the other side, but it was right in our own house.

What you say is true. Men are being radicalized and/or convinced to stop supporting Democrats.

We're going to have to mobilize women, especially women of color.

If women can win in other countries, we can win here too.

I like Whitmer, Klobuchar, Newsom more than Harris.

But, my primary vote is done, so I have no input into the process

but my first choice would be Newsome Grethcen.I just can't get excited with her because of where our country is. Look at how they are doing the VP Vance wife. I am praying she decided for the good to keep the tempeture down, she will stay VP because she has not been seen doing a lot and even if she did, I just think she can't win.
