2. Her husband could have said the same thing about his skin color, but...

...running against an incredibly unpopular Republican administration helps to overcome, because people will focus more on that than superficial features like skin color or sex.

Hillary and Kamala both ran during Democratic administrations, when it is much harder for a Democrat to win than running during Republican administrations.

5. That's a good point.

It's harder for either party to be elected when their party is in power, as long as the voters are reasonably well informed.

I fear we are at or near a tipping point where too many US voters are so misinformed and brainwashed they will continue to vote Republican no matter what.

7. Propaganda only works for a certain amount of time, because at some point...

...people will have firsthand experience that directly contradicts the propaganda (e.g., all the Trump voters that are now upset with everything and claim they didn't vote for any of this, blah, blah, blah).

3. She's correct.

We can't have a woman for president until we get rid of the epstein cabal and its toxic view of women... females in general.

4. Too many men (and many women, sad to say) don't believe a woman can be president. Period.

6. Tsk tsk. Obviously Michelle's not dialed in to DU experts

Who know better than a popular former First Lady with a massive political reach who has plausibly the best path for a woman to the Presidency atm
