Oct 2019

talking about would support a female VP over president and point to it as proof that they're not bigots, claiming that a female Democratic candidate didn't speak to their concerns and was also just too "unlikable" and "untrustworthy" to vote for. Been there before, and not long ago at all.

I'm not saying the problem should slam doors on nominating a woman and certainly not that we should pander to bigots (including some women) against the interests of half the nation, only that it's real and its big.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
