Why not just do what liberalism was all in favor of (or they said) in the first place back in 1969?
Why not just see who wins the primaries and support that person?
Some top Democrats are quietly debating a fraught question: whether the party's best bet for winning back the presidency in 2028 is to nominate a man — perhaps a straight, white, Christian man.
"Let's spend over 30 years demonizing straight, white Christian men as old school, patriarchal, out of touch misogynists AND THEN decide to turn on a dime because it will help us win."
- Their fear, divulged with dismay in group chats, at cocktail parties and increasingly in public, is that parts of the electorate are too biased to support a woman or other diverse candidate for president.
Let's look at the list of states that have NEVER had a female governor:
California (blue)
Colorado (blue)
Florida (swing that has become red)
Georgia (swing)
Idaho (red)
Illinois (blue)
Indiana (red)
Maryland (blue)
Minnesota (blue - but likely to change this fall and elect Klobuchar)
Mississippi (red) - however, note that Mississippi ELECTED A FEMALE LTGOV over 50 years ago, back when they were supposedly more racist and misogynist; they elected another in 1999
Missouri (red)
Nevada (swing)
N Dakota (red)
Pennsylvania (swing)
Tennessee (red)
WVA (red)
Wisconsin (swing)
Ok, so 17 states have never elected a female governor. Now let's look at the list above after taking out the states that have elected AT LEAST ONE FEMALE SENATOR.......
Colorado
Florida
Georgia
Idaho
Pennsylvania
WVA
It's apparently only a "problem" in 3 red states the Dems won't win anyway (and don't need), two swing states, and liberal Colorado.
- Former first lady Michelle Obama fueled such talk recently, saying the U.S. is "not ready for a woman." Democratic strategists have put it bluntly, with several saying a version of "It has to be a white guy."
Yes, Michelle Obama's husband I always confused with a Scandinavian.
