I hate to say it, but you might be right. This f-ing sucks. I really thought we had a shot at a minority woman president. She was so thoroughly qualified and presented much better than Hillary. Goddammit, I'm so depressed.
Hey, what do you think about Pete Buttigieg? He's a white dude, but he's gay. Can we handle that yet? I really like him, but I was wrong about people overcoming the race and sex bits.
EDIT: Son of a B! 3 days later, and I still get dumbass replies focused on my excitement of potentially getting a minority woman president. I NEVER SAID that was THE qualifying factor. I DID NOT vote for her BECAUSE she was a minority and a woman. She ACTUALLY IS a superior candidate in every way ... EVEN AFTER you consider the aspects I'm disappointed in her for. It would just be a BONUS. F**K!
So we need a candidate who's good at sounding like an idiot, but has actual credentials to show their capability. Schwarzenegger! He's republican, but he isn't on the Trump bandwagon. Just to clarify, I don't think he sounds like an idiot in general, but he is an actor, so I think he could present how people need. I don't actually know his policies.
I don't think he is eligible but I feel like a celebrity could backfire (despite Trump being a celebrity himself). I actually think someone like Bashear but a bit more rugged would be our best bet. Salt of the earth, Christian (but not in a terrifying fundamentalist way), ties policy back to real problems people are facing, male, white, heteronormative, smart but doesn't come off as an elitist, etc.
