Nope. I will be proud and thrilled when we have our first woman president, which I hope will be soon. This would be a stunt that would cheapen what should be a momentous achievement. ---

At this point, I’m just hoping for another president who last name isn’t “Trump” or “Vance”. But if we’re dreaming, we might as well go big; President Whitmer and Vice-President Duckworth. Or vice versa. Stranger ---

Dang it, did I change my name and post this an hour ago? It’s the only reason I opened the thread. It would be funny as hell, though. There are probably several idiots out there who have already gotten the tattoo. ---

Not last year. It was someone after Biden stepped down in the race. He suggested that resigning would give Harris the power of incumbency, etc. I don’t think that would have helped her get elected, or at least would not have been enough.
