The irritating thing is that the voting population is, on average, stupid, easily led, and anti woman. She would not fair well no matter how good she’d be in charge because brown woman bad or something equally idiotic. We’re nothing if not committed to shooting our own feet and wondering how it happened
Bruh, at this point, what the fuck are we gonna do? Just put up our own, inferior slightly less racist white old aristocratic man we ordered off TEMU? Even if we win, we lose.
I think radical is the way to go. We cannot let what happened to Bernie happen again. I’m just saying, I’m not sure she’s ready for the office of POTUS yet, maybe she needs more experience, but while we keep vetting and purity testing, the right just go “HERE’S ADOLF HITLER, EXCEPT HE IS ALSO GERIATRIC AND SUFFERS FROM ADVANCED DEMENTIA” and the people are like “FINALLY!”
I’m not saying she shouldn’t run. She’d be my most likely vote assuming some unicorn progressive candidate doesn’t show out of nowhere. It’s just irritating as fuck that she’s fighting from behind purely because she’s not a rich white dude
If people say they’d vote for her and don’t during the primary, they’re fuckasses and can be called out as such. Also the people who vote for her specifically because she’s a woman of color. Her skin color and gender are not important. Furthering progressive ideals of “kids and poor people not dying”, “healthcare should be between the person and their medical team, not including insurance and landlords”, “not having to choose between eating, seeing a doctor, and housing/utilities”, and so forth.
Is she perfect? No but the enemy of good is perfect so we need to push for progress, not perfection. We also need to be aware of how any chosen progressive candidate will be maligned and be able to combat it. The red scare is still a factor in today’s time as are racism, misogyny, and toxic masculinity. People automatically shut down upon certain words or ideas without listening to the actual content being said. There is no trying to understand, only soundbites and tweets and headlines.
Anyway, back to point. She’s a hard sell to the average idiot. Doesn’t mean we can’t try though. The opportunity is there to push for more progressive movement
Means she got experience being a minority. Know what I’m saying? If she says “I care about your tired, your poor, your huddled masses”, I’m more inclined to believe her than when an obese 86 year old billionaire in a brown shirt says it, you know. Except, the obese 86 year old billionaire in a brown shirt would never even say that, so…
I mean they are not important in and of themselves and should not be used directly as a reason to either support or dismiss her. I’d’ve thought that was obvious by context of literally everything else I said.
Don’t support a person because of their skin color, sexually, or genitalia situation. Support a person for their actions, beliefs, and intentional associations. Yes, their skin color, upbringing, etc affect these things but that is not the same thing.
