(3,359 posts)I say something that has in my head for close to 3 years now and I have kept quiet,because I know it will upset some people. Rest assured I am simply making an observation based on my near 60 years among the living. On to my 2 points and what scares me.
Firstly, I refuse to believe that we will not win this election, therefore we all know this country is going to be a mess. This is why I am leaning Biden/Harris ticket as I stated months ago. Biden has intimate knowledge of 8 years IN the House that no one else has, and can also mentor/Train Sen. Harris for her turn in 4 years as I think Biden would do one term.
This segues into my main point that we may or may not want to accept. Simply, we know that The R base are scumbags,snakes,,add any adjective you wish. We cant fix them, it is the next 20% just above these mouth breathers that worry me, if we run,Sen Warren, or Senator Harris, or any of the qualified female runners. These folks are a lot closer to the swamp than being able to admit that they could/would vote for a female. My feelings are that there could be millions of votes lost there instantly. I could even argue to an open mind that those same votes cost Sec. Clinton enough votes to totally blow away the idiot and not even make it possible to meddle.
Most of our fellow citizens are followers and just as they shrug and get "used" to the knuckle draggin Neanderthal that is there now, during the 4 years of VP Harris,, the country would be baby stepped into the sensible world. The one thing I have seen in elections that I believe is Americans have never really followed the unknown in an election,,unless there was a known idea in their head they hated worse than the unknown.
I do believe it could happen again this way,,a lot of voters who hate trump and my vote Biden given teh points I laid out, ar ea very short brain wave away from I wont ever vote for a woman.
In short, we MUST win this election for the sake of our country and need to look at all sides of equations, even those outside our hearts and comfort zones.
