(31,374 posts)Look at what happened in 2016. Russian interference, Republican voter suppression tactics aside, it should have been a no-brainer choice to vote for the most qualified person for the office: Hillary Clinton. It should have been a landslide for her.
But this country is full of people who think women are inferior to men and are afraid of people who love someone of the same sex, It's the same group. The right wing phony Christians.
Personally, I'd love to see a Warren/Buttigieg ticket and watch them be sworn into office. Like to see Warren serve one or two terms and then see Buttigieg serve two terms. I think that might possibly--as long as Dems can retake the Senate and maintain the House--be the path toward saving this country from a descent into fascism and implementing the necessary changes to our democratic structure (get rid of Electoral College and change the Senate so that it is proportional to state populations) for it to survive another 250 years. It wouldn't hurt to implement additional qualifications for President, too, beyond age and natural citizenship.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
