(63,909 posts)mean I am going to vote for a LESS qualified candidate! I know you don't mean to imply that, but it seems to be implied in a way that you probably didn't mean. Obama was clearly qualified to be president. We have women candidates today who are clearly qualified to be president.
I do not want to vote for a woman to "solve sexism." While it may go a long way to do that, I assure you that is not my major goal here.
I thought all this was a settled question in the last election: HRC was hugely qualified and lost largely because of our Electoral College requirement (that's another thread entirely!). And now look what we've got!
In 2020, we will, for the first time in our country's history, have at least 3 highly qualified women running for President. I don't see how we cannot vote for a woman in such a circumstance!
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
