How many of you out there were raised by a single-mother?If they were not unfit, you know what I mean, it was hard living up to their rules.
They'd would always tell us, 'I'll have to think about it.'
but they never lied to us, they never let us do whatever we wanted.
They never lied to us, and seemed like they always knew what we were thinking!
They always had to think over whatever you proposed, a movie, a concert,
'I'll have to think about it.'
(and you better be home on time).
They never rushed into anything, buying a new car, or renting a new house,
managing the finances, somehow it was always possible.
And they always helped us through adolescence.
They always found a way.
Those of you out there who can relate, know what I mean.
We Are A Nation Of Single-Parent Children!
After this insane racist orange man with white ears I would think the country would welcome someone completely different, completely opposite!
An honest, thoughtful, frugal, contemplative, female leader, not a ruler, that we can believe in, who will seriously think of the American people first, before the almighty dollar!

(77,846 posts)She Won, Part IV: And So Did Hillary. The Red Flags That Became Red Carpets.
Weve already shared the astronomically improbable statistics from the 2024 election. We know Kamala Harris won. And the numbers youre about to see are just as staggering. This isnt about unlikable candidates, hacked emails, or mean tweets. Its about the data.
Because when you strip away the noise and run the numberspaired with fox-in-the-henhouse oversightwhat emerges isnt just suspicious. Its mathematically impossible to ignore. And what were living through right now, both in the U.S. and around the world, was made possible by the silence after the 2016 election.
Snip
The 2016 election data reveals a widespread undervote anomaly that cant be explained away by unpopular candidates. No, theres a lot more to it than that. Historically, undervote percentagesrepresenting ballots where voters skipped the presidential linehovered around 0.5%. But in 2016, that number suddenly spiked to around 1.67%, more than tripling the norm.
The shift wasnt limited to swing statesit hit across the board. Colorado jumped to 2.76%, California to 2.94%, Maine to 3.10%. Even red states like Indiana (2.59%) and Kansas (3.37%) showed dramatic increases. This wasnt a natural shift in voter behavior. It was a statistical siren.
Snip
In unpacking the 2016 data, we found statistical improbabilities across all key states. But Michigan tells a different story. A race decided by just 10,704 votes recorded 75,335 undervotes in Detroit and Flintmost of which were disproportionately concentrated in Black, urban precincts where Hillary Clinton was expected to dominate.
Snip
The historical undervote norm is typically around 0.5%, but in Michigan that year it was a 14.4% undervote rate, odds of that occurring naturally are 1 in 10⁹⁸. Thats a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion octillions. Because the voting equipment just happened to fail in Black, urban precinctsand thanks to Michigans voting laws at the time, the recount was halted.

. fucking with the data aka the vote on the front end and Peter Thiels Palantir people
were running a clean up program that hid any flipped or deleted votes so then the memes
could be pushed people wont vote for a woman or people wont vote for a black or people
just staid home.
Besides just the fact Krasnov winning seemed so unlikely but the way he went after the
pollster in Iowa that had Harris @ + 5 points let me know they were trying to hide what
really happened. They were cheating.
Mr.Bee
(1,915 posts)After they way trump conducted himself during the first term,
the way he handled Covid and let a million people die while shipping ventilators to putin,
the way he told pawns to attack the Capitol and he'd be right there with them,
I thought there was absolutely NO Way anyone would vote for him or how he could beat
A KNOWLEDGEABLE, FEMALE PROSECUTOR, VICE-PRESIDENT!
but that's all trump can do
cheat and BEAT WOMEN!
Botany
(77,846 posts)How many times did we hear people say that not bringing Krasnov to justice will
empower him and the other coup birds to do it all again. And that is what happened.

Geraldine Ferraro, remember??Geraldine Ferraro was an American politician, diplomat, and attorney. She served in the United States House of Representatives from 1979 to 1985, and was the Democratic Party's nominee for vice president in the 1984 presidential election, running alongside Walter Mondale.
Shirley Chisholm, 1972, remember??
Charlotta Bass was the Progressive Party nominee for vice president in 1952.
Former Wyoming Governor Nellie Tayloe Ross was a candidate for vice president at the 1928 Democratic National Convention.
Laura Clay and Cora Wilson Stewart received one vote apiece at the 1920 Democratic National Convention.
Hell of a lot more experienced than what we got.

(131,209 posts)We've hoped for a woman president not just on the basis of gender equality, but on assumptions that a woman might be more humane and less likely to provoke wars or condone violence. Pam Bondi, Kristi Noem, MTG and Sarah Palin prove otherwise. Women can be assholes, too. In an election where the candidates were a Trumpist woman like one of those and Kamala Harris, for example, so sexism wouldn't be an issue, would the asshole win?

(72,515 posts)Republicans want a woman in an inferior position. If she had been running for President, Barack Obama would have won in a landslide due to all the Republicans staying home on Election Day rather than vote for a woman in charge.
cadoman
(1,617 posts)Repukes aren't as encouraging of women running and abhor the idea of gender equality, but if a female MAGAT emerges and has fascist charisma, they will vote for her.
Most cannot imagine how popular race traitors like Thomas Sowell and Clarence Thomas are in MAGAT circles. They literally do not care about race as long as a person promotes white supremacy and christofascism.
I am immensely worried about an overcorrection due to Harris and Hillary not winning, because some of the most qualified candidates in our party are minority women. After TFG is gone, the repuke bench is empty of popular charisma. It will be back to Bushes and Reagans and the usual Fox News dough heads.

(10,435 posts)(Bill) Clinton, Obama, and Biden all ran during Republican administrations and won.
America is very much a vote AGAINST something nation rather than a vote FOR something nation.
There is no doubt there is misogyny in our electorate, but *when* to run is an important factor as well. And whichever Democratic gets to run as a foil against the Trump administration in 2028 will be much more likely to win than Hillary or Kamala (or Gore...), regardless of whether that person is a woman or a not.

(2,791 posts)is if there is a situation where she is VP, and the president either dies in office or is forced to leave or is Speaker of the House and both the VP and presidential offices are vacant.
Otherwise, no woman will EVER be elected president of the United States. It just won't happen. Sexism is WAY more ingrained than racism, and there are millions of people, not just the religious right types, who think women are incapable of leading countries because of their menstrual cycles or they are menopausal or post-menopause and consider them too "emotional."
This despite all the Himalayan mountains of facts to the contrary. Women have led countries and empires for thousands of years, if one includes monarchies in the mix. They have proven themselves time and time again they are capable. Many countries have been willing to have women be the heads of government, but not the United States.
Such notions as "women can't lead" are deeply ingrained in this country. We saw this in both 2024 and 2016. The GOP targeted MRAs, especially the young, white males, to support them. J.D. Vance's entire campaigning strategy was to go after the manosphere and talk like an MRA by trashing single women and those who opted not to have children.
The politics of resentment by white males cannot be overestimated.
