    As much as I’d love her to be president … I agree - this country is not ready for a female president.

      Not with that attitude it isn’t. It also wasn’t ready for a black man to be president, a Catholic man, a disabled man, a gay man, etc.

      Also, in 2016 the majority of Americans did vote for a female president. This indicates perhaps it wasn’t the right candidate rather than the wrong time.

        Time after time we put our heads on the chopping block thinking this Tim it will be different. Do me a favor, save this and let me know how it goes if she somehow gets the nod from the DNC which she won’t. But if she does and once again we lose to a repub you let me know how that went. I’ve heard plenty of women say they don’t want a woman in office. I don’t agree. But this country is not yet enlightened enough to make that happen.

          Do you even realize that Hillary and Harris have similarities that aren’t tits? What voters don’t want is another corporate sellout.

              What does being a progressive have to do with it? They aren’t liberals either. They are elitists and corporatists, and most voters aren’t that either.

              Except when you actually talk about policy they are. Ask someone “would you rather have free healthcare or means-tested subsidies for employer-sponored insurance purchased through 1 of 50 state-run websites. The plans change every year.” “Should anyone be able to go to college without worrying about debt? Or should almost everyone take on random amounts of debt, and have no idea what that debt will be until they’ve already applied?”

          I get where you are coming from, but I am not sure I agree. It would definitely be something to behold if it happened.

          I do share some of your pessimism about this though. I to think that AOC may be shunned by the DNC neo liberals.
