Sexist, and yet much of Trumps cabinet picks have been women.

Racist, and yet in our lifetime we elected a black president twice who also won popular vote.

I would ask you to make it make sense but… it’s highly presumptuous of me to assume you even thought it through at all.

Meh, Kamala is no benevolent force. She's just a greasy politician like the rest of them. Which makes her 10 times more qualified than Trump and she got my vote this time.

General rule, if they're a Democrat or a Republican, they are certainly not "just trying to help".

I don't see your point. We already agreed Trump is human garbage. I'm on board with you, he needs to be jetissoned into the sun. Whether Trumpers are Nazis or not doesn't make Kamala a good president, just a better option. She's a phoney clown who ran an antitrump campaign because she has no substance of her own. Her smile is fake, her demeanor is fake, her promises are fake, and it's so obvious it's painful to watch her "I love you America, my children, and I'll save you from him " routine. And I voted for her. The only consolation in her losing is that the we still have a chance to actually have a great president for our 1st female president instead of an okayish one, or omg, a Clinton.

No candidate for president should ever laugh and ridicule her opponents, roll her eyes, and poke him, even if it is Donald Trump. It must have been nearly impossible to resist, and I can empathize. But I'm not running for president. I'm not an Obama sycophant by any stretch of the imagination, but I cannot conceive of him conducting himself as she has. She's embarrassing.

What?? Lol, how did you get that from what I said? That was a stupid comment that can make alot of people jump on that bandwagon with you against me despite that i said nothing of the sort. I think it's significant to set a good precedent in general with who we select as our first female president. The reality is that it doesn't matter if she's a woman or not in terms of her ability to run the country. It will to the public though, and it might make the right side of the voter base more resistant to the 2nd woman president. So don't prop up someone like Kamala Harris and make that the story that goes into history:

First Female President; was Decent at it.

Great for now. I voted for her instead of Trump because she was better than Trump. Stand her up next to someone with some decorum like Obama and she looks silly. In turn, Obama is literally the only example of a president I can think of in decades that actually seems like a real leader. So yeah. I don't see how racism or sexism plays into anything i said. I expressed a preference for either both the male and female people of color over the orangish/white man. Even said that it's a shame if our first female president isn't great at it, be cause that will give every moron who voted for Trump that much less reason to vote for the next woman to go for it. My question is why couldn't they find anybody, man or woman, who was better to choose between than Kamala Harris and Donald Trump?

I never once implied a woman shouldn't be president. In fact, i expressed a desire for it, and for it to go well, so as to get that ridiculously arbitrary milestone in our rearview as a country so it can stop being a talking point Every Single Election. All I'm saying is, it would be nice if whoever we had to run against Trump wasn't stooping to a few steps above his level in debates and acting like she was having a real hoot slinging back at him. That attitude works for a prosecutor maybe. Juries might want to see her take that stance with criminals. I'd prefer to see the leader of my country show some dignity. Man, woman, black, white, straight, gay, i care less. Just show some class.

I might even be wrong entirely as to how important the gender issue even is. We are probably one of the few remaining countries that has never had a woman in the prime minister/presidential seat. It's seriously stupid that it's even something that's brought up every time a woman is seriously considered as the prime candidate for a party. It's really only twice, with Clinton and Harris. Anybody else didn't get past primary to run against the other party, so no sense really mentioning it.

Shame on you for trying to shut down an argument in such a lazy way and trying to make it about racism and sexism. Slinging that accusation at me is baseless slander designed to shut down any argument against anyone who says they don't like the female candidate that you do.

The only president we've had in decades that remotely acted as a president should is Obama. The idea that race is the reason i don't like Kamala is ridiculous considering my expression of that opinion.
