That is the real question, is US of A ready for a woman presidency.
It is has been only 100 years women were given rights to vote. And couple of years more than 50 years to universal suffrage.
That's nothing compared to nearly 300 years of its existence.
/s for those who couldn’t get it
I'm already practicing my "Madame President"
Would she also be the first Asian person to become president?
Right now these firsts are secondary compared to the real states of this election.
Why only black? She is half Indian. I don't recall an Indian president?
Oh right nobody cares about other minorities, only kicking out Mexicans and propping up African Americans. Everyone else be damned.
Also why is the presidency limited to natural born citizens? Most of the world except the US, most of South America and a smattering of other countries require this. Shouldn't everyone who has worked to gain citizenship be afforded the right to run for office? Doesn't sound very free to me.
I would argue it's a security issue. I think it would be quite feasible for some foreign power to scoop up some 20 year old with nothing to lose and put them to the task of infiltrating America. In fact, stuff like that has already happened: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegals_Program
Nowadays it's much easier to influence the public by just bombarding them with bs social media posts. Watch the documentary "The Great Hack".
So ~85 percent of the world is insecure because a naturalized citizen can run for office?
All I'm saying is that it's feasible, and very much in the interest of foreign powers to attempt to install people in positions of power. I think that's a very cold take.
Let’s maybe not focus solely on this, instead maybe on policy? Real problems Americans are facing every day is going to win more votes. Making the entire campaign about gender issues isn’t alone going to win shit.
Not alone, but it will tick another box in voters' minds
Honestly, she has been shadowing an all-around decent president for the last 3ish years and like Obama, has the legal chops to back it up. Im not a fan of her stances from her DA days, but I dont think there is anyone else more qualified to do the job.
Agreed, I believe she has a lot to offer.
I'm happy for another chance at a Gen X president , not ready for a Millennial VP
Isn't she technically a very young boomer?
If elections were based on policy the GOP would have ceased to exist four days into Reagan's presidency.
You can bet Republicans are gonna make her race and gender an issue though
They already have, filling talks in all spaces with mysogyny and racism as soon as biden bowed out.
And it's REALLY gonna help the black and woman vote they've been trying so hard to get. Just check out Bowman/Vance these days, dude's holding in his desire to talk about abortion so hard he looks like he could shit himself any moment.
Well that's their loser strategy.
Nope, gotta play demographic bingo.
