Only vote white male because Trump?

I feel like being female will not be a detriment in the general, weeeez, but I don't have any data on it. I am probably somewhat wishcasting a sleeping giant pool of voters that will be motivated by having a female candidate. Anyway, I think the field is small enough that the other attributes of the candidates should be far more important and any such sexist bias will be insignificant enough to not warrant using gender as a deciding factor against any candidate. I agree with the other observations... sigh.

I get what you're saying, weeeez. There just isn't a reasonable way to say it.

Tbf most democrats are quasi-Republicans but that is the one I had in mind.

“Not the time for a woman”

“Lacks personality”

It just never ends...

I had a feeling you were going to take that the wrong way. How about I just say that all of those names don't excite people because they are boring and not exciting. Like a lot of males running as well.

And these kinds of takes are from men who, as I said before, generally mean well. So disheartening and hard to take.

Can’t believe anybody thinks it’s a stretch that Sanders said similar things to Warren. We hear this stuff our whole lives; it’s not new or unique.

Yeah, I took it the wrong way, Luckbox. Whatever you say. I have to break from this thread for the night before I become “disruptive”.

I'll double and triple down on my comments.
Nothing sexist about saying that those 4 women are shitty candidates.

I think it would be easier to have a women president if it wasn't for all the progressive faux moral outrage, and we just let it happen without making it about that.

Generally, when people are being told what they should think by pretentious moralizers (either from the left or right) their reflex is to think FU, you self righteous *******. It is just how we are wired.

Now, when the moralizing *******s have power to actually punish you for not being politically correct (eg. callout culture), you will begrudgingly go along. But in secret ballots no one is around to punish you.

The more the Maxs and Crossnerds of the world lecture us about electing women for President, the truth is the less we want to do it, out of principle. If the moralizers just went away I think it would actually be easier to more organically happen.

Probably for the best. Good night. Sleep tight.

Yes, there is. Since I missed your earlier post because LOL at your posts here, **** off.

You **** off.
What is sexist about saying that Gillibrand, Harris, etc lack personality and don't excite people?
I was arguing against the notion that a woman can't win this year. It just so happens you have bad women running.

That is a principle, LOL? Look, you want to do it less because you are sexist. You make up all this bullshit because you are on some weird denial trip or something.

When the range of responses from men are “Don’t blame me” to “Ask nicer” I think women have a good idea what your principles are, thanks kitten.

Because it's not true. Because it's a sexist stereotype. It might be your opinion they are unappealing candidates because you're sexist. The same can be said of the male candidates and yet you didn't.

Man, I wish I had Trolly's gumption, there some serious material here for some bombastic **** talking, but alas, not even five beers can make me do it....I'm a wuss

We weren't talking about male candidates. I was responding to Weezer's post about how it's not the year for women. I disagree with that notion.
"Unappealing candidates because I'm sexist" lol. I've admitted that my candidates were Williamson and Gabbard. They have a little personality too.

Eat ****.

It's nice to see max cut posts, I hope you are right.
Right now all I see is american culture sounds ultra mysoginist and you have a madman in the white house doing it's best to kill us all.
If any of you believe in climate change theories then you know 4 more years of this bs is bad.
I just want you guys to vote him out but even that , male or female I'm not sure there is much hope

Sounds pretty sexist.

Its not that simple. If anything, there is more prejudice against men then women as far as what constitutes socially acceptable gendered behavior.

Joe Rogan did a bit on one of his Netflix specials on this. I am paraphrasing (and his delivery actually made it funny) but he basically said if he had a daughter who wanted to be an actress and she was told she had to sleep with a male producer for a part he would be outraged; but if he had a son who had the same option and was told to sleep with a female producer, then his response would be "how bad do you want it" or something to that effect.

Here is a partial list of people who ran:

Michael Bennet (D)--who?
Joe Biden (D)-- sucks but does have personality
Michael Bloomberg (D)-- no personality
Pete Buttigieg (D)--not sure
John Delaney (D)--probably not
Tulsi Gabbard (D)--has personality
Amy Klobuchar (D)--nobody likes her
Deval Patrick (D)--who?
Bernie Sanders (I)[3]--has personality
Tom Steyer (D)--no personality
Elizabeth Warren (D)--no personality
Andrew Yang (D)--no personality
Kristen Gillibrand--no personality
Kamala Harris-- no personality
Marianne Williamson--lots of personality.
Cory Booker-- nah

Warren was an awesome candidate until she went full on establishment Dem.

Whe had certainly been portrayed with personality since she became outspoken against Trump.
