If Elizabeth Warren is Hillary's VP...

[ThinkCritically]

I hope they run on policies and not a gender ticket. I am all for a woman president, vice president, etc. but in this particular case they need to make policies the focus. An all female ticket is awesome and I will vote for them but I'm afraid it may turn people away if they make gender the main focus. For true equality it shouldn't be about their gender anyways. It should be about their qualifications which they both have and in fact are stacked with MUCH more than Chump. Don't get me wrong, womens equality should be a part of their talking points and their policies but not the main focus. We have some big fish to fry on all fronts.

1. Gender is an important issue. However, the issues they stand for are part of the team

2. why is it, we never question when it's two men on the ticket?

I understand what you are saying, of course they have to focus on the issues/policies, but at the same time, why should it be any different for two women to focus on the issues/policies? They are more than capable. They only drawback I can see in this case, is losing Warren's senate seat, I understand a republican governor will get to pick her replacement, but doesn't a special election have to be held as well? Considering the state, wouldn't it be an easy win for a Democrat? Would to love see these two on a ticket together, they were on fire today.

9. What do you mean?

It's not different. And that is my point. It shouldn't be different. But we saw moments where people accused Bernie Sanders of being sexist and not wanting a woman to be president just because he stayed in the race. That is what we need to avoid because it absolutely turns people away especially when it's not true.

3. Both their speeches are chocked full of policy

but many people don't hear what women say, so may have missed the context of their speeches.

7. I haven't missed their context one bit.

It's average Americans who don't pay much attention to politics who will be turned away.

4. I'm pretty certain they would; though, I don't think they will run FROM the point ...

i.e., pretend to be gender-blind.

5. OK, we'll keep it a secret.

Maybe nobody will notice.

6. Yes the gender issue has been such a problem when 2 men run on the same ticket

Why is it that gender is suddenly an issue? Because that apricot faced misogynist Rump brought it up ... don't fall for it!

[ThinkCritically]

8. Oh cmon I'm not that shallow.

My point is they are both very well qualified and that should be more important than their gender.

[The Second Stone]

10. They are two of the most qualified people ever considered for

President or Vice President, regardless of gender. Their age and life experience has a lot to do with that, but also their resumes made during their lives.

With the possible exception of Jefferson or Madison, coming to the White House now makes them very highly qualified.

It would be my dream ticket. And now, to go full sexist: even I will buy a pantsuit when they get elected.

[ThinkCritically]

13. Haha love it.

You need to take a picture for us when that happens

[justiceischeap]

11. The only one that seems to be making gender an issue is you

I watched/listened to today's rally speeches and not once was the "gender" card played.

So gender will be an issue only to those that make it one.

[pnwmom]

12. They'd never do that. They both are policy wonks with strong qualifications

for their positions.

Their gender is the icing on the cake.
