I imagine others have thought this but we have a unique turn of events that could lead to the first woman president.

Let’s face it, a lot of Americans will never vote for a woman. A lot more might do so grudgingly. Now is the time that we are most likely to get those grudging votes. No one amongst the current rethug cult is going to jump ship, they are too far gone (the Republican Party is dead, they really ought to just rename themselves). We’ve always been told if we had full voter turnout the Dems would win every election. I hope we can really GOTV for this critical election. If we don’t win this one we won’t get another chance.

I guess this premise is mostly based on Kamala getting the nomination. It would apply to any other woman who gets the nomination. That’s the first part of my discussion. The second part about GOTV for whoever the Dem nominee is applies to whoever is nominated. This election is critical for americas future.

I always vote for the woman. Of course I only vote for Democratic candidates.
Very happy with the top spots here in Michigan.

But a couple of days ago when we didn’t know what Joe was going to do he said he didn’t think Kamala could win. Not sure of his reasoning but I’m going to ask him.
