Using the GOP much beloved “Democrat” epithet demonstrates you are either a troll or so deep in MAGA world that you do not recognize your own party’s talking points. |
NP (woman) here. I have very liberal friends who will openly say America won’t elect a female. They themselves want a woman but don’t believe it will happen. Until the Base believes it, it won’t happen. Sucks. |
It's not simply about gender. HRC inspired a special kind of hatred from the right that other women (Whitmer, for example) wouldn't be subject to. |
Kamala Harris would like a word. Critics ALWAYS find something wrong. Misogyny is rampant in the US. Look at the exploding heads over the Barbie movie, Beyoncé, or Taylor Swift’s success. |
Dp- If you want a woman you should be working to secure Haley the nomination. |
They tried to kidnap Whitmer.

Prefer a pro-choice woman whose foreign interests are not beholden to Assad. |
Not the PP, but I want a woman who champions issues of particular concern to women, not her party's donor class and religious zealots. |
Pp here. Not a misogynist. Huge HRC supporter, think she’s brilliant, logical, and would have made an excellent president. Not electing her was one of the gravest mistakes the US made. Fact is though that we live in a country where voters hate female candidates and always make up a reason as to why. Misogyny is deeply rooted in our culture. I don’t like it, but you can also bet I will vote for Biden or whichever Democratic candidate is most likely to obliterate Trump or any election denying Republican, and that is most likely going to be a man. |
But we won in 2018, 2020, 2022, and thus far in special elections in 2024 against Trump and the far right religious. We will win on Nov. 5, 3024. |
Kamala’s a hack. She’s actually an example of someone who only is where she is *because* she’s a woman, whereas HRC achieved *despite* being a woman (being First Lady certainly helped though.) I do like Gretchen whitmer, but not sure about her from a presidential standpoint. HRC was a unicorn and part of that was decades of experience and putting in the hard work- she strikes me as probably the hardest working of any recent Democratic candidate or nominee. |

It seems like the consensus is the Biden is the one who can defeat Trump. But does anyone else feel like Dems need a back up plan?
Folks, if Trump drops dead or somehow winds up in jail, Republicans can nominate Haley. And I think she would soundly defeat Biden. I think Dems are screwed if Haley is the nominee. I feel like they should at least have someone waiting in the wings for that scenario. It's not entirely implausible. |
As a democrat, I don’t fear Haley as president. I fear a second Trump term. If Trump drops dead and Haley is the nominee, the race would be closer, and if Haley won, it wouldn’t be catastrophic. That said I don’t think Haley would win a general election. Voters continue to reject republicans for overturning Roe v wade and for the damage Trump has done to the party. I do think Dems need a better back up plan for Biden than Kamala Harris though. |
| So much senile boomerism on this thread. Do you people learn anything? |
