    People said Americans weren’t ready for a black president too.

      A black male President with a white male VP is a much smaller hurdle than a black/indian woman Pres with another woman VP. Remember black men got the right to vote before women did.

        I said it when Hilary was nominated to run against Trump: America is more sexist than they are racist. They will accept a black man to run a business/country/church before a white woman. The only reason Kamala has a chance is because she is running against the fucking craziest shitstain they could find.

      Sure, but one step at a time… If she wins Kamala will be the first female president.

      Yeah, but this isn’t the time for moonshots. I think it’s sensible to go with whatever has the best odds of defeating Trump.

        Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying Walz is a bad choice, I’m just disappointed.
