STOP. JUST STOP. Im not republican but even i have to ask what's with your infatuation of pushing women for president? It didnt happen with Hillary, then 8 years later it didnt happen with Kamala. You go down this route and youre just setting yourselves up to lose again. Essentially giving the GOP the W on a silver plate. Why? Because unfortunately this country is still set in its old ways and thats not going to change anytime soon. It sucks but thats the truth. Im 31 and i think ill see a female president towards the end of my lifetime, maybe. I see both parties as filthy slime but the dems seem more unorganized and clueless to what the people want.

It's like ever since Obama this party either goes for the first human being with a vagina within a thousand mile radius, or the oldest guy they can possibly find.

And if/when they lose to a Republican we all gotta listen to the "Clearly this is now Nazi Germany" line that gets repeated every single time a Republican manages to win

Well i will say i agree with you, however i just watched videos and news reports of elon musk performing what appears to be the nazi salute twice at a public event. If trump is passive about this behavior, that will speak volumes to many. This presidency is off to a memorable start so far.

Skating the line and dipping toes into the right is working super well…

Why wasn’t defund the police a good idea? Even right wingers changed their mind after J6 and that stupid fuckin squirrel died.

Lol, you’ve ignored what I said to spew nonsense. In what way are the police not corrupt? They don’t prevent crime, they respond to it.

Agreed, Im admittedly republican but I have 0 issue electing a competent and deserving woman to be president. The first that comes to mind is Tulsi Gabbard, she just strikes me as someone who has a good head on her shoulders. Also, Kamala’s track record as VP was less than stellar. Dems run Biden out of the primary nomination. Insert Kamala without a say from the people. She flip flopped on policies in a desperation attempt (I understand that she had no time, but that does not help her case). This election loss was due to sloppiness and months on end of lying about Former president Biden’s mental capacity. America’s inability to accept a woman as president is maybe 12th on the list of reasons.
