I'm just going to go out on a limb and assume that whoever our 2020 nominee is, that person will have a penis. Because the biggest lesson I learned this year is that America would rather be ruled by an international joke, sex offender, and con artist all rolled into one than break the glass ceiling and live in a country where women really can do anything men can do.
Yeah, and not just by the Republicans, either. There's a sickening amount of misogyny that still remains on the Left -- it was mostly lefties calling Clinton supporters Vagina Voters and running Clinton herself down as a terrible candidate. They like to throw out Warren as a woman that they do like, but the minute she didn't do what they wanted (like endorse Bernie during the primary) out came the knives. And the gendered slurs and threats.
I'm still so pissed about the whole thing, for a million different reasons. But this is one of the bigger reasons for me. I have to raise a daughter in this world, and I feel like I'm lying to her when I tell her she can do anything. Because as far as I can tell, it's just not true.
I literally burst into tears when I heard that the Tangerine Buffoon was "considering" Petraeus for Secretary of State.
To even consider him - a man who actually DID the shit they baselessly accused Clinton of doing - for the position that Clinton held is a deliberate, targeted "fuck you" to not only Clinton herself, but to every woman in this country.
Hmmm, I might have to increase my subscription amount...
"so close, and yet so far"
I still want Warren. I don't care if she's old!
Yeah I said about 3 weeks ago...Duckworth 2020
Still bitter with you.
We could get the Twin Castros to be running mates! Yes!

Yes, I'm still bitter.
Maybe for veep; Booker's still a little--young. But very promising.
I know I'm late, but what do you guys think about Duckworth? She is pretty freakin amazing, honestly.
I think you're right. Is there any woman more qualified than Clinton? Yet was denigrated for being a "terrible candidate".

President Duckworth would be freaking awesome OMG.

OMG, think of the opportunity for shenanigans that would enable!
"Mr. President, we need to..."
"Wait, I'm the other one."
"OK, sorry, Mr. Vice President..."
"Psych!! I'm really the President! Or am I???"
I can see it now..."I have a grande jobs program for...Louisiana? Louisiana? And a tall educational initiative for Arizona?"
Yes, but we already have a loopy twit in office.
