Gillibrand says she's worried about top options in Dem 2020 poll being white men

148. She's spot on.

It's troubling, but not surprising that the women effect since Trump won has been ignored or diminished.

The Women's March was slightly covered, but mostly ignored.

The number of women who ran, and won, has been mostly ignored.

I'm not sure, in fact, check that, I'm certain that the media and many men are not in tune with how many women are completely disgusted with Trump. I'm certain that the media, and many men, and also many women, are not grasping how activated, ticked off, and determined women are to not only remove this stain on our Democracy, but to leave it a better place than when we found it.

It's insane. We had the most likely best qualified candidate for President, ever. She happened to be a woman.

The way the media downplays, ignores, and flat out doesn't get that not only are people (especially women) very ticked off, activated, motivated, determined, and ready for the fight of their lives, yet the same media seems to believe we are ready to recruit the next great white knight, shows how our of tune they are with society.


Now, more than ever, we want a woman candidate. We are sick and tired of women being held to standards that men aren't held to. We are sick and tired of the media handling women differently than they handle men. We are sick and tired of the bar being set way too high for women, and way too low for men. We are sick and tired of people choosing the worst man, over the best woman, because of ingrained misogyny. Enough.


I don't want any men running for the 2020 ticket. It's time for a woman, and the time is now.
