DNC fucked your party over. It was a shit show for everyone. We’re ready for the RIGHT female president. Not just a president just because they are female.

I gotta ask the "America is too misogynistic to elect a woman" crowd how Tammy Baldwin, Gretchen Witmer, Kristen Sinema, and Jodi Ernst were winning all those Trump states.

Hell, imagine if Witmer had run in the 2024 Dem Primary. She was a solid contender and she clearly has a reputation and platform that Midwesterners vibe with. She's not a fringe radical BernieBro, so Wall Street can stomach her. But she's also not a lightning rod like Hillary.

If you don't like Witmer, consider that Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobacher both significantly outperformed Harris during the 2020 primary.

All of them were fundamentally stronger candidates. But none of them were "in line" thanks to the whims of the 2020 Biden VP selection committee.

Crazy that Biden ran virtually unchallenged, then dumped the whole campaign in Harris's lap after a bad debate performance.

Indeed it's like they can't even acknowledge it's already proven that voters don't give a shit if the candidate is a woman or not. We have research and studies on that..

If there is complain, that ain't the one

I'm sure anyone but Harris, Clinton and Biden would've sufficed. I would have voted for Ernst, always thought military experience should be a prerequisite for presidency to thin out the billionaires.

Glances nervously at Tulsi Gabbard and Marianna Williamson

Well, maybe...

The rich guy vanity campaigns are certainly annoying. But I see an immediate moral hazard in letting the military have a monopoly on presidential candidates.

And lots of military guys - Micheal Flynn, David Paetreus, Pete Hegseth - are demonstrably fucking awful. Idk if you improve the field this way.
