This.
I know Harris and Clinton are controversial but they were two of the most qualified candidates to ever run, who happen to be women. Yet, somehow, the biggest moron on the planet defeated both of them. That moron only lost to the oldest man to ever take office, up to that point.
I’ve long held the belief that we’ll get over racism before we get over sexism.
I will admit there were a lot of things that went into those elections but sexism was definitely one of them.
Careful, there's a lot of morons on lemmy that would rather live in a fascist state than vote for a candidate that isn't 100% perfect.
Entirely too many people let perfect be the enemy of better
But but but both sides! Kamala would have been worse than Trump in every way shape possible. Because… both sides!
/s I really hate people who argue both sides are the same. It just reduces voter turnout and republicans win when less people vote.
2020 Biden: "Vote for me, Trump is a Nazi!" 2020-2024 Biden: "we can't prosecute our political opposition, that would set a horrible precedent!" 2024 Harris: "Vote for me, Trump is a Nazi!"
Actions speak louder than words. The average voter didn't believe Trump was a Nazi because Biden never treated Trump like a Nazi.
Imagine if Americans, men and women, weren't political morons with the education of a 4yo.
Education of a 4 year old, but the malice of an 80 yelling at his neighbors kids for touching his lawn.
Seriously, living in flyover country the average person is so much more fuckin stupid than you think. The average American adult is incapable of critical thinking and is functionally illiterate. I knew people were fuckin dumb twenty years ago in school but holy shit it's so much worse now.
I think it wasn’t as acceptable to be willfully ignorant back then. Stupid people were shamed (rightfully) into silence in serious discussions. But now we have a president who speaks at a 4th grade reading level, so dumb fucks feel free to screech about everything, whether they have a modicum of understanding or not.
Trump was right. I voted for Harris and the economy is much worse now. I am sorry.
Pretty sure the right wouldn't give a shit as long as she was fucking with minorities as hard as the Trump admin is
Christy Noem disagrees. They’re just as sexist as they are racist.
'..all while swiping huge piles of money out of uncle sam's wallet"
"Proof that women shouldn't run for office"
That's what the response would be.
Would Obama still available at that point for a "Thanks Obama" ?
Back when we had a president who could take a joke
Trump is femme/queer coded as hell.
The jazz hands, the makeup, the camp interior design.
The beautiful younger wife whose main purpose is to symbolise traditional heteronormative stability, but clearly is not romantically involved.
and yeah the ballroom
Can't, too hard to imagine a woman president in America.
Depends.
Is this woman overtly bigoted and does she constantly demonize half of U.S. citizens?
If so, then she'd have staunch support of all conservative voters regardless of what else she does.
Nope. Nobody voted for Nikki Haley in the primaries.
