A California lawyer trying to win a centrist campaign is like Tiger Woods trying to win a World Series ring. Harris wasn't the right person to run a centrist campaign. But, if she had run a progressive campaign from July, she would have won the popular vote and still lost the election. She wouldn't have gotten past a primary.

Elizabeth Warren would have been a better progressive choice. Mark Kelly could have run a progressive or a centrist campaign.

You cannot put a woman or a minority on the ticket and expect Right Wingers to care.

Back in 2015 when it was either Trump or Ben Carson for nomination, I knew it would be Trump. Simply because I knew once the debates started and Boomers were actually looking at Ben Carson instead of just reading newspaper articles about him, they'd abandon him for being the wrong color...

And I was right

Too many people will simply never submit to Female Rule.

It's why I knew Nikki Hailey wasn't going to get the 2024 nomination despite Trump being the most idiotic and easily beatable choice (and if Kamela ran a progressive campaign and actually had time to make her campaign)

American Men simply do not respect women.
