(81,322 posts)Biden/Harris. Or Biden/Warren.
Sadly, Im more convinced than ever that a woman president will be the last non-white-male glass ceiling to break. Id expect a Latino, a gay (man), even a Muslim President to happen first. The bad guys dragging the anti-choice assault back into the center ring of this freakin circus has really grabbed my attention and convince me this might actually be the dynamic in play now.
Just look whats happened lately. The continuing persecution of Hillary Clinton. The attacks on a womans right to choose. The brutal attempts by largely middle-aged white men to assert supremacy by force if necessary. It was a woman who was the sole casualty in Charlottesville. More of the attempted legal assaults on a womans privacy and sovereignty over HER body are male-driven. Yes a female governor signed the Alabama Monstrosity into law but a wall of white men, 25 men in that states legislature, voted it into her desk.
I think the women protesting about what theyre calling a war on women are spot-on. As a woman I feel an ongoing gnawing in my mind about this. I feel almost literally under siege.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
