    Unfortunately, we got like, a good 50/50 chance of her actually being elected president in a few years with the current state of both parties unless something big changes.

        Yah because people really warmed to Harris and Clinton (despite Clinton winning the popular vote.) 🙄

        Don’t worry, a lot of people will dismiss her for being a woman, but if she can wrangle trump’s base of armed patriots she has all the cards and the system will bend for her no matter what she says or does. I do understand how political capital works and why gender only matters so far in the big game.

          Yeah I dont know. I work in a field where I hear a lot of the details of people’s employment stories and if I can tell you one universal thing its that women need to be 5x better than a confident sounding man in order to be taken half as seriously.

          never underestimate how much the world dislikes a woman who knows more than anything than they do
