(95,337 posts)Maybe those Jim Crow laws weren't so crazy and as a woman I guess it wasn't so bad being subservient to a man making half the money he makes while doing the same job.
So you know, I guess there is no difference between the two candidates.
This is the thing, the GOP of today scares me far more than the GOP of 1999. I'm not sure how we survived 8 years of George W. Bush but even HE looks like a better choice than the candidates out there right now including George's own brother Jeb. What's worse is since 2000 there has been an major purge of Republicans that weren't so heinous, moderates replace with much more rabid right-wingers who want to do 'God's bidding' to bring about some sort of Holy war. And since we've had 2 rounds of GOP-Favored Gerrymandering since 2000 which pretty much ensured we will never win back the US House or control most of the State Congress for decades to come, we can ill afford to lose the White House anytime soon especially with the Supreme Court in balance.
