5. In our political party, we don't care about just equal opportunity.

We care about equal outcomes!

Systemic institutional sexism and racism are empowered by the ongoing status quo.

We - again - have the opportunity to make it about more than "this candidate" is more qualified than "that candidate." This can be about much more!

If George W. Bush can 'win' an election because more people would like to drink a beer with him than Al - or Donald Trump can win because he says every batshit crazy thing that pops into his head, and his supporters call that 'honesty' - then why can't we inspire voters - any voters - just on 'gender'?

NOW!
