[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a Dem, left of left of center, as in the Bernie and AOC wing of the progressive Democrats. And still, I'm coming to terms with this take on American culture: The first woman president will be a Republican.

I personally would vote for AOC or any of the younger Democrats being talked about now. But she won't win. If America votes for a woman, it will be a woman who does not threaten the male ego. She will be conservative but code moderate, simply by being softspoken and having gentle mannerisms. She will be attractive, probably white, probably of a slender build, and definitely a mother. Most likely of a WASP or northern European background.

I used to think Kristi Noem fit the bill until she bragged about shooting a dog. But generally she will fit the profile of a Mama Grizzly conservative, "tough" only in the pro-America red-blooded right wing kind of way, stroking the alpha male aesthetic ego. She won't be a pantsuit girlboss. She would win independents and moderate Democrats only because so much of this country is ill-informed about politics in that a woman - a softspoken woman, not someone outwardly crazy like MTG or Lauren Boebert - would "code moderate" just because she's a woman.

The first woman president will be nonthreatening and pleasing to the male gaze, and she will be subservient to a white male VP. But the GOP will get to claim the historic milestone of the first woman president. [/quote]

You've got it all wrong. The 1st woman POTUS will be one who knows how to play nice with mega donors and one who is willing to tell the American people whatever they want to hear in order to gain support. HRC played nice with the mega donors, received more voted than Trump in 2016, and would have won easily had she worked half as hard as Trump did in the mid-western swing states while telling those people whatever they wanted to hear like Trump did.

The AOC type will never be given a fair chance at a major party nomination as long as they are speaking out against things like capitalism, the wealth divide, campaign finance, and insider trading by her colleagues in Congress.

It doesn't matter what's between a candidate's legs. What matters most is the willingness to lie on the campaign trail to receive votes and the willingness to play nice with the wealthy major political party mega-donors.[/quote]
