The Way Forward

(7,460 posts)unfortunately, but I think a tipping point must be reached. When rumpy's wholesale destruction of our country reaches a point where everyone can see what he did, then people might say, oh what the hell, anybody else is better than rump or his surrogates. Then, we get a female president, preferably Harris, and we can join modern times.
My brother once told me that he would never vote for a female president, but he knew how that sounded and how much that upset me, so he relented and took it back! I think we can work on the presentation a bit, but Harris didn't have much time in the runup to the election. It was plain that rump et al. didn't quite know how to handle her.
I am wondering if her being Black was actually a good thing, because you can't call that out without being racist. We should try to remember how it went with Obama.
He had quite a ways to go there, but how did people feel overall about it? He had Oprah's endorsement, I remember. Maybe we need to line up endorsers now. I know that the color of her skin is not relevant, except that it is. We still outnumber MAGA, and I think that will only increase, once the fruits of their voting reach them.
We have a lot of quality, qualified females that could run. I still feel bad about Hillary. Now, Harris...would have been proud of either if they had been allowed to live up to their standards.
