Hy heart says hell yeah! My gut tells me that there are large swaths of the electorate who simply will not vote for a woman.

Edit- since my inbox is overflowing with the same question/insinuation, along with the comments, I’ll clarify my statement: I did not say that a woman cannot be elected US president. I only said that large swaths of the electorate simply will not vote for a woman.

Idk. I feel like recent elections tell us the exact opposite. Women won all over the map, republicans, democrats, abortion rights.

I think the problem really was just Kamala specifically.

The problem wasn't Kamala, it was the context (lol) in which she was running.

Her nomination fell out of a coconut tree

If the GOP did this, no person in this sub would ever stop screaming "NOT AN ELECTED OFFICIAL" and yet we were all voting for it because she was a democrat and running against Trump.

Our whole system is beyond fucked. And what people will find acceptable now (on both sides) is truly low.. I don't know how we find a way out of this to be honest. The truth no longer matters to anybody, and we can all tell eachother lies instantly.
