They are "owed" a Woman President, they will continue to be disappointed. One of the reasons HRC lost was that attitude. It pissed a lot of people off. She was seen as "the anointed one", as in "How DARE any one else run against her". YOU are displaying that same attitude in your post.

We saw that in 2008 with the PUMAs. "Party Unity, My Ass!"

Personally, I think it high time we had a woman President, or at the very least Vice-President, that is why I support Kamala Harris. The people will decide on whom they choose as the best candidate. And if Democratic women like yourself cannot organize behind a woman candidate (when you are 51% of the populace), that is on you.

If it were solely my choice I would like a Harris / O'Rourke ticket.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
