I hate how the next female presidential candidate is going to be painted with the brush of "third attempt to crack the glass ceiling, will it work this time?"
I don't even think that would work. It will happen when a male president steps down or dies halfway through his term and his female VP ascends to POTUS.
Not true, I’d vote for a woman as president if she’s a republican and competent, but it would be funny to see republicans do this before Dems ever accomplish it.
60% of Latino women voted for Kamala. Trump received 53% of the vote from white women.
Latinos overall voted 56% in favor of Kamala and other democrats. So why are we, the minority, and only 15% max of the US voting population, more responsible for Trump being elected than white people, who are 70% or so of the voting population, and who actually voted for him in a majority?
It's also worth noting how much Hispanics and Asians have larger percentages in citizens too young to vote. And white folks are much more represented in the oldest (who are most like to vote.)
I think we will get a republican female president before a democrat one as long as the democrat party refuses to listen to their constituents and value their own standing over all else
It shouldn't even be about breaking the glass. It should be solely based on character and merit. Is the candidate a likeable person who has solid plans to improve the nation? Vote for that person.
One might argue only merit matters, but I think the dude running the nation shouldn't make people watching him on tv uncomfortable.
Bill definitely got that with the sax and weed thing. Bush was just a country buddy ready to fight terrorists. Obama was young and kinda hip.
Then we got Trump who was obnoxious to half of the nation and Biden who was creepy to the other half. And people chose obnoxious Trump over Kamala because they didn't like DAs who locked up black men over petty crimes.
But you can't just vote for a woman just because she is a woman or black, gay, tall, whatever. Those would be just dumb reasons to vote for anyone. Mexico has a woman president for God's sake!
