As inappropriate and watered down as it sounds, I honestly don't think this country is going to vote in a female president this decade. Race plays a part too, but I honestly think that this country is more sexist than it is racist when it comes to presidential voting. It's partially a gut feelings, but I think gender played a bigger role than many people think in the 2016 and 2024 elections. As messed up as it sounds, I think Bernie POTUS with AOC VP would stand a better chance of winning right now as opposed to the other way around. Even with all of the socialist/communist boogie-man bullshit that Bernie gets thrown at him.
Everyone demanded Biden step down for someone better and younger. So he did.
and all that accomplished was that the left started shutting on her instead of Biden. as a non American watching it all unfold, race and especially gender was noticeably what turned people even on the left off of Kamala. And were talking before the gaza shit show turned into an election issue.
Again im not American, but your last election definitely felt racist and well, here we are. That there are still people on the left shitting on her as if they’re not living under the alternative is crazy. How can anyone in 2025 say she wouldn’t be better than this? Can’t explain it but with sexism
Harris had a honeymoon and then inexplicably decided to say she'd be exactly like Biden. He wasn't doing well in the polls before his brain started erroring on live TV. The swap was the opportunity to disavow the unpopular things, but for some reason they decided the number one priority was making sure Joe got a respectful send off.
When Kamala first started, I had hope there would be change. How foolish that turned out to be...
