Yeah I don't know. Definitely Clinton and Harris (have you noticed how women politicians are always referred to by their first name only, not their last name?) were the worst possible women to pick.

I truly hope she has the charisma and policy to get through despite being a brown woman (in the eyes of Americans).

    have you noticed how women politicians are always referred to by their first name only, not their last name?

    It started with Hillary because she intentionally blurred "Clinton" to refer to them as a "power couple". Bills first campaign they literally ran as a "2 for 1".

    With Kamala, if I said "Harris" after Hillary it would be confusing for some people unfortunately.

    I truly hope she has the charisma and policy

    If you look at the three of them and can't tell AOC is leagues ahead of the other two...

    It starts to make people who insist her skin color and gender matter really really start looking like bigots.

    You know, that whole "reducing someone to only gender and race" thing bigots are known for...

    That thing you insist on doing...
